| ( | 24 | + | 5 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 10 | ) | = | 9 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 10 | ) |
| ( | 24 | + | 5 | x | ) | = | 9 2 | ( | x | + | 10 | ) |
| 24 | + | 5 | x | = | 9 2 | ( | x | + | 10 | ) |
| 24 | + | 5 | x | = | 9 2 | x | + | 9 2 | × | 10 |
| 24 | + | 5 | x | = | 9 2 | x | + | 45 |
| 5 | x | − | 9 2 | x | = | 45 | − | 24 |
1 2 | x | = | 45 | − | 24 |
1 2 | x | = | 21 |
| x | = | 21 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | 21 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 42 |
