14 5 | ÷ | ( | 3 | + | x | ) | = | 7 2 | × | 1 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 | + | x | ) |
14 5 | = | 7 2 | × | 1 5 | ( | 3 | + | x | ) |
14 5 | = | 7 2 | × | 1 5 | × | 3 | + | 7 2 | × | 1 5 | x |
14 5 | = | 21 10 | + | 7 10 | x |
| - | 7 10 | x | = | 21 10 | − | 14 5 |
| - | 7 10 | x | = | - | 7 10 |
7 10 | = | 7 10 | x |
7 10 | x | = | 7 10 |
| x | = | 7 10 | ÷ | 7 10 |
| = | 7 10 | × | 10 7 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1 |
