| ( | 301 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1760 | + | x | ) | = | 2 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1760 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 301 | + | x | ) | = | 2 5 | ( | 1760 | + | x | ) |
| 301 | + | x | = | 2 5 | ( | 1760 | + | x | ) |
| 301 | + | x | = | 2 5 | × | 1760 | + | 2 5 | x |
| 301 | + | x | = | 704 | + | 2 5 | x |
| x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 704 | − | 301 |
3 5 | x | = | 704 | − | 301 |
3 5 | x | = | 403 |
| x | = | 403 | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 403 | × | 5 3 |
| x | = | 2015 3 |
| x | = | 671.666667 |
