| ( | 75020 | + | x | × | 5 | ) | ÷ | ( | 16380 | + | x | ) | = | 23 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 16380 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 75020 | + | x | × | 5 | ) | = | 23 5 | ( | 16380 | + | x | ) |
| 75020 | + | x | × | 5 | = | 23 5 | ( | 16380 | + | x | ) |
| 75020 | + | x | × | 5 | = | 23 5 | × | 16380 | + | 23 5 | x |
| 75020 | + | x | × | 5 | = | 75348 | + | 23 5 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 23 5 | x | = | 75348 | − | 75020 |
2 5 | x | = | 75348 | − | 75020 |
2 5 | x | = | 328 |
| x | = | 328 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 328 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 164 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 820 |
