| 24 | = | 6 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | r | ) | + | 6 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | r | ) | × | 2 | + | 6 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | r | ) | × | 3 | + | 6 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | r | ) | × | 4 | + | 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | r | ) |
| 24 | ( | 1 | + | r | ) | = | 6 | + | 6 | × | 2 | + | 6 | × | 3 | + | 6 | × | 4 | + | 10 | × | 5 |

| 24 | + | 24 | r | = | 6 | + | 12 | + | 18 | + | 24 | + | 50 |
| 24 | + | 24 | r | = | 110 |
| 24 | r | = | 110 | − | 24 |
| 24 | r | = | 86 |
| r | = | 86 | ÷ | 24 |
| = | 86 | × | 1 24 |
| = | 43 | × | 1 12 |
