| ( | m | + | 36 | ) | ÷ | ( | 69 | − | m | ) | = | 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 69 | − | m | ) |
| ( | m | + | 36 | ) | = | 2 | ( | 69 | − | m | ) |
| m | + | 36 | = | 2 | ( | 69 | − | m | ) |
| m | + | 36 | = | 2 | × | 69 | − | 2 | m |
| m | + | 36 | = | 138 | − | 2 | m |
| m | + | 2 | m | = | 138 | − | 36 |
| 3 | m | = | 138 | − | 36 |
| 3 | m | = | 102 |
| m | = | 102 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | 102 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 34 | × | 1 |
| m | = | 34 |
