| ( | x | + | 4 | + | 9 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 9 | ) | = | 7 | ÷ | 9 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 9 | ) |
| ( | x | + | 4 | + | 9 | ) | = | 7 | ÷ | 9 | × | ( | x | + | 9 | ) |
| x | + | 4 | + | 9 | = | 7 | ÷ | 9 | × | ( | x | + | 9 | ) |
| x | + | 4 | + | 9 | = | 7 | ÷ | 9 | × | x | + | 7 | ÷ | 9 | × | 9 |
| x | + | 4 | + | 9 | = | 7 9 | x | + | 7 |
| x | + | 13 | = | 7 9 | x | + | 7 |
| x | − | 7 9 | x | = | 7 | − | 13 |
2 9 | x | = | 7 | − | 13 |
2 9 | x | = | - | 6 |
| x | = | - | 6 | ÷ | 2 9 |
| = | - | 6 | × | 9 2 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 9 |
| x | = | - | 27 |
| 9 | ( | x | + | 4 | + | 9 | ) | = | 7 | ( | x | + | 9 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 | x | + | 9 | × | 4 | + | 9 | × | 9 |
| = | 9 | x | + | 36 | + | 81 |
| = | 9 | x | + | 117 |
| 9 | x | + | 117 | = | 7 | ( | x | + | 9 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 | x | + | 7 | × | 9 |
| = | 7 | x | + | 63 |
| 9 | x | + | 117 | = | 7 | x | + | 63 |
| 9 | x | − | 7 | x | = | 63 | − | 117 |
| 2 | x | = | 63 | − | 117 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 54 |
| x | = | - | 54 | ÷ | 2 |
