| ( | 5 | x | − | 9 | ) | ÷ | ( | 6 | x | + | 3 | ) | = | 16 | ÷ | 33 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 6 | x | + | 3 | ) |
| ( | 5 | x | − | 9 | ) | = | 16 | ÷ | 33 | × | ( | 6 | x | + | 3 | ) |
| 5 | x | − | 9 | = | 16 | ÷ | 33 | × | ( | 6 | x | + | 3 | ) |
| 5 | x | − | 9 | = | 16 | ÷ | 33 | × | 6 | x | + | 16 | ÷ | 33 | × | 3 |
| 5 | x | − | 9 | = | 32 11 | x | + | 16 11 |
| 5 | x | − | 32 11 | x | = | 16 11 | + | 9 |
23 11 | x | = | 16 11 | + | 9 |
23 11 | x | = | 115 11 |
| x | = | 115 11 | ÷ | 23 11 |
| = | 115 11 | × | 11 23 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 |
