| ( | 14 | × | 43 100 | + | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 14 | + | X | ) | = | 1 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 14 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 14 | × | 43 100 | + | X | ) | = | 1 2 | ( | 14 | + | X | ) |
| 14 | × | 43 100 | + | X | = | 1 2 | ( | 14 | + | X | ) |
| 14 | × | 43 100 | + | X | = | 1 2 | × | 14 | + | 1 2 | X |
301 50 | + | X | = | 7 | + | 1 2 | X |
| X | − | 1 2 | X | = | 7 | − | 301 50 |
1 2 | X | = | 7 | − | 301 50 |
1 2 | X | = | 49 50 |
| X | = | 49 50 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | 49 50 | × | 2 |
| = | 49 25 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 49 25 |
| X | = | 1.96 |
