| ( | 35 | × | 133 | + | 8 | Y | ) | ÷ | ( | 133 | + | Y | ) | = | 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 133 | + | Y | ) |
| ( | 35 | × | 133 | + | 8 | Y | ) | = | 20 | ( | 133 | + | Y | ) |
| 35 | × | 133 | + | 8 | Y | = | 20 | ( | 133 | + | Y | ) |
| 35 | × | 133 | + | 8 | Y | = | 20 | × | 133 | + | 20 | Y |
| 4655 | + | 8 | Y | = | 2660 | + | 20 | Y |
| 8 | Y | − | 20 | Y | = | 2660 | − | 4655 |
| - | 12 | Y | = | 2660 | − | 4655 |
| - | 12 | Y | = | - | 1995 |
| 1995 | = | 12 | Y |
| 12 | Y | = | 1995 |
| Y | = | 1995 | ÷ | 12 |
| = | 1995 | × | 1 12 |
| = | 665 | × | 1 4 |
| Y | = | 665 4 |
| Y | = | 166.25 |
