| ( | 218 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 3396 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 33 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3396 | ÷ | x | ) |
| ( | 218 | + | x | ) | = | 33 500 | ( | 3396 | ÷ | x | ) |
| 218 | + | x | = | 33 500 | ( | 3396 | ÷ | x | ) |
| 218 | + | x | = | 33 500 | × | 3396 | ÷ | x |
| 218 | + | x | = | 28017 125 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 218 | x | + | x | x | = | 28017 125 |
