| ( | 155 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 231 | + | x | ) | = | 727 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 231 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 155 | + | x | ) | = | 727 1000 | ( | 231 | + | x | ) |
| 155 | + | x | = | 727 1000 | ( | 231 | + | x | ) |
| 155 | + | x | = | 727 1000 | × | 231 | + | 727 1000 | x |
| 155 | + | x | = | 167937 1000 | + | 727 1000 | x |
| x | − | 727 1000 | x | = | 167937 1000 | − | 155 |
273 1000 | x | = | 167937 1000 | − | 155 |
273 1000 | x | = | 12937 1000 |
| x | = | 12937 1000 | ÷ | 273 1000 |
| = | 12937 1000 | × | 1000 273 |
| = | 12937 | × | 1 273 |
| x | = | 12937 273 |
| x | = | 47.388278 |
