| ( | 9 4 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 8 | + | x | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 8 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 9 4 | + | x | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 8 | + | x | ) |
9 4 | + | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 8 | + | x | ) |
9 4 | + | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | 8 | + | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
9 4 | + | x | = | 6 | + | 3 4 | x |
| x | − | 3 4 | x | = | 6 | − | 9 4 |
1 4 | x | = | 6 | − | 9 4 |
1 4 | x | = | 15 4 |
| x | = | 15 4 | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | 15 4 | × | 4 |
| = | 15 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 15 |
