| ( | 169 | + | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 207 | + | X | ) | = | 24 25 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 207 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 169 | + | X | ) | = | 24 25 | ( | 207 | + | X | ) |
| 169 | + | X | = | 24 25 | ( | 207 | + | X | ) |
| 169 | + | X | = | 24 25 | × | 207 | + | 24 25 | X |
| 169 | + | X | = | 4968 25 | + | 24 25 | X |
| X | − | 24 25 | X | = | 4968 25 | − | 169 |
1 25 | X | = | 4968 25 | − | 169 |
1 25 | X | = | 743 25 |
| X | = | 743 25 | ÷ | 1 25 |
| = | 743 25 | × | 25 |
| = | 743 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 743 |
