| ( | 3877 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 5108 | + | x | ) | = | 4 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5108 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 3877 | + | x | ) | = | 4 5 | ( | 5108 | + | x | ) |
| 3877 | + | x | = | 4 5 | ( | 5108 | + | x | ) |
| 3877 | + | x | = | 4 5 | × | 5108 | + | 4 5 | x |
| 3877 | + | x | = | 20432 5 | + | 4 5 | x |
| x | − | 4 5 | x | = | 20432 5 | − | 3877 |
1 5 | x | = | 20432 5 | − | 3877 |
1 5 | x | = | 1047 5 |
| x | = | 1047 5 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 1047 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 1047 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1047 |
