| ( | 95 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 170 | + | x | ) | = | 309 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 170 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 95 | + | x | ) | = | 309 500 | ( | 170 | + | x | ) |
| 95 | + | x | = | 309 500 | ( | 170 | + | x | ) |
| 95 | + | x | = | 309 500 | × | 170 | + | 309 500 | x |
| 95 | + | x | = | 5253 50 | + | 309 500 | x |
| x | − | 309 500 | x | = | 5253 50 | − | 95 |
191 500 | x | = | 5253 50 | − | 95 |
191 500 | x | = | 503 50 |
| x | = | 503 50 | ÷ | 191 500 |
| = | 503 50 | × | 500 191 |
| = | 503 | × | 10 191 |
| x | = | 5030 191 |
| x | = | 26.335079 |
