| ( | 347 5 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | 123 40 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 347 5 | − | x | ) | = | 123 40 | x |
347 5 | − | x | = | 123 40 | x |
| - | x | − | 123 40 | x | = | - | 347 5 |
| - | 163 40 | x | = | - | 347 5 |
347 5 | = | 163 40 | x |
163 40 | x | = | 347 5 |
| x | = | 347 5 | ÷ | 163 40 |
| = | 347 5 | × | 40 163 |
| = | 347 | × | 8 163 |
| x | = | 2776 163 |
| x | = | 17.030675 |
