| 116 | ÷ | 44 | = | ( | 29 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 73 5 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 73 5 | − | x | ) |
| 116 | ÷ | 44 | × | ( | 73 5 | − | x | ) | = | ( | 29 | − | x | ) |
| 116 | ÷ | 44 | × | 73 5 | − | 116 | ÷ | 44 | × | x | = | ( | 29 | − | x | ) |
| 116 | ÷ | 44 | × | 73 5 | − | 116 | ÷ | 44 | × | x | = | 29 | − | x |
2117 55 | − | 29 11 | x | = | 29 | − | x |
| - | 29 11 | x | + | x | = | 29 | − | 2117 55 |
| - | 18 11 | x | = | 29 | − | 2117 55 |
| - | 18 11 | x | = | - | 522 55 |
522 55 | = | 18 11 | x |
18 11 | x | = | 522 55 |
| x | = | 522 55 | ÷ | 18 11 |
| = | 522 55 | × | 11 18 |
| = | 29 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 29 5 |
| x | = | 5.8 |
