| ( | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 36 | ) | = | 3 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 36 | ) |
| ( | x | + | 4 | ) | = | 3 10 | ( | x | + | 36 | ) |
| x | + | 4 | = | 3 10 | ( | x | + | 36 | ) |
| x | + | 4 | = | 3 10 | x | + | 3 10 | × | 36 |
| x | + | 4 | = | 3 10 | x | + | 54 5 |
| x | − | 3 10 | x | = | 54 5 | − | 4 |
7 10 | x | = | 54 5 | − | 4 |
7 10 | x | = | 34 5 |
| x | = | 34 5 | ÷ | 7 10 |
| = | 34 5 | × | 10 7 |
| = | 34 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | 68 7 |
| x | = | 9.714286 |
