| ( | 1694 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 2689 | + | x | ) | = | 13 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 2689 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 1694 | + | x | ) | = | 13 20 | ( | 2689 | + | x | ) |
| 1694 | + | x | = | 13 20 | ( | 2689 | + | x | ) |
| 1694 | + | x | = | 13 20 | × | 2689 | + | 13 20 | x |
| 1694 | + | x | = | 34957 20 | + | 13 20 | x |
| x | − | 13 20 | x | = | 34957 20 | − | 1694 |
7 20 | x | = | 34957 20 | − | 1694 |
7 20 | x | = | 1077 20 |
| x | = | 1077 20 | ÷ | 7 20 |
| = | 1077 20 | × | 20 7 |
| = | 1077 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 1077 7 |
| x | = | 153.857143 |
