| ( | ( | 2 5 | + | x | ) | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 2 5 | − | x | ) | = | 3 250 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 2 5 | − | x | ) |
| ( | ( | 2 5 | + | x | ) | x | ) | = | 3 250 | ( | 2 5 | − | x | ) |
| ( | 2 5 | + | x | ) | x | = | 3 250 | ( | 2 5 | − | x | ) |
| ( | 2 5 | + | x | ) | x | = | 3 250 | × | 2 5 | − | 3 250 | x |
| ( | 2 5 | + | x | ) | x | = | 3 625 | − | 3 250 | x |
2 5 | x | + | x | x | = | 3 625 | − | 3 250 | x |
