| ( | 98 | + | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 105 | + | X | ) | = | 97 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 105 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 98 | + | X | ) | = | 97 100 | ( | 105 | + | X | ) |
| 98 | + | X | = | 97 100 | ( | 105 | + | X | ) |
| 98 | + | X | = | 97 100 | × | 105 | + | 97 100 | X |
| 98 | + | X | = | 2037 20 | + | 97 100 | X |
| X | − | 97 100 | X | = | 2037 20 | − | 98 |
3 100 | X | = | 2037 20 | − | 98 |
3 100 | X | = | 77 20 |
| X | = | 77 20 | ÷ | 3 100 |
| = | 77 20 | × | 100 3 |
| = | 77 | × | 5 3 |
| X | = | 385 3 |
| X | = | 128.333333 |
