| 30 | ÷ | ( | 30 | + | x | ) | = | 16 25 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 30 | + | x | ) |
| 30 | = | 16 25 | ( | 30 | + | x | ) |
| 30 | = | 16 25 | × | 30 | + | 16 25 | x |
| 30 | = | 96 5 | + | 16 25 | x |
| - | 16 25 | x | = | 96 5 | − | 30 |
| - | 16 25 | x | = | - | 54 5 |
54 5 | = | 16 25 | x |
16 25 | x | = | 54 5 |
| x | = | 54 5 | ÷ | 16 25 |
| = | 54 5 | × | 25 16 |
| = | 27 | × | 5 8 |
| x | = | 135 8 |
| x | = | 16.875 |
