| 96 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | ( | 54 | − | 46 | x | ) | = | 144 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 54 | − | 46 | x | ) |
| 96 | x | ( | 54 | − | 46 | x | ) | + | 1 | = | 144 | ( | 54 | − | 46 | x | ) |
| 96 | x | × | 54 | − | 96 | x | × | 46 | x | + | 1 | = | 144 | ( | 54 | − | 46 | x | ) |
| 96 | x | × | 54 | − | 96 | x | × | 46 | x | + | 1 | = | 144 | × | 54 | − | 144 | × | 46 | x |
| 5184 | x | − | 4416 | x | x | + | 1 | = | 7776 | − | 6624 | x |
