| x | = | 43 20 | ÷ | ( | 23 50 | + | 1 20 | ) | ÷ | 49 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 23 50 | + | 1 20 | ) |
| x | ( | 23 50 | + | 1 20 | ) | = | 43 20 | ÷ | 49 5 |
| x | × | 23 50 | + | x | × | 1 20 | = | 43 20 | ÷ | 49 5 |
| x | × | 23 50 | + | x | × | 1 20 | = | 43 196 |
51 100 | x | = | 43 196 |
| x | = | 43 196 | ÷ | 51 100 |
| = | 43 196 | × | 100 51 |
| = | 43 49 | × | 25 51 |
| x | = | 1075 2499 |
| x | = | 0.430172 |
