| ( | 167 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 239 | + | x | ) | = | 731 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 239 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 167 | + | x | ) | = | 731 1000 | ( | 239 | + | x | ) |
| 167 | + | x | = | 731 1000 | ( | 239 | + | x | ) |
| 167 | + | x | = | 731 1000 | × | 239 | + | 731 1000 | x |
| 167 | + | x | = | 174709 1000 | + | 731 1000 | x |
| x | − | 731 1000 | x | = | 174709 1000 | − | 167 |
269 1000 | x | = | 174709 1000 | − | 167 |
269 1000 | x | = | 7709 1000 |
| x | = | 7709 1000 | ÷ | 269 1000 |
| = | 7709 1000 | × | 1000 269 |
| = | 7709 | × | 1 269 |
| x | = | 7709 269 |
| x | = | 28.657993 |
