| ( | 412 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 2183 | + | x | ) | = | 39 200 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 2183 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 412 | + | x | ) | = | 39 200 | ( | 2183 | + | x | ) |
| 412 | + | x | = | 39 200 | ( | 2183 | + | x | ) |
| 412 | + | x | = | 39 200 | × | 2183 | + | 39 200 | x |
| 412 | + | x | = | 85137 200 | + | 39 200 | x |
| x | − | 39 200 | x | = | 85137 200 | − | 412 |
161 200 | x | = | 85137 200 | − | 412 |
161 200 | x | = | 2737 200 |
| x | = | 2737 200 | ÷ | 161 200 |
| = | 2737 200 | × | 200 161 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 17 |
