| 242 | x | ÷ | ( | 242 | + | x | ) | = | 242 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 242 | + | x | ) |
| 242 | x | = | 242 5 | ( | 242 | + | x | ) |
| 242 | x | = | 242 5 | × | 242 | + | 242 5 | x |
| 242 | x | = | 58564 5 | + | 242 5 | x |
| 242 | x | − | 242 5 | x | = | 58564 5 |
968 5 | x | = | 58564 5 |
| x | = | 58564 5 | ÷ | 968 5 |
| = | 58564 5 | × | 5 968 |
| = | 121 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 121 2 |
| x | = | 60.5 |
