| ( | x | + | 302 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 524 | ) | = | 4 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 524 | ) |
| ( | x | + | 302 | ) | = | 4 5 | ( | x | + | 524 | ) |
| x | + | 302 | = | 4 5 | ( | x | + | 524 | ) |
| x | + | 302 | = | 4 5 | x | + | 4 5 | × | 524 |
| x | + | 302 | = | 4 5 | x | + | 2096 5 |
| x | − | 4 5 | x | = | 2096 5 | − | 302 |
1 5 | x | = | 2096 5 | − | 302 |
1 5 | x | = | 586 5 |
| x | = | 586 5 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 586 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 586 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 586 |
