| ( | 4 | x | + | 24 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| ( | 4 | x | + | 24 | ) | = | 10 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 4 | x | + | 24 | = | 10 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 4 | x | + | 24 | = | 10 | x | + | 10 | × | 2 |
| 4 | x | + | 24 | = | 10 | x | + | 20 |
| 4 | x | − | 10 | x | = | 20 | − | 24 |
| - | 6 | x | = | 20 | − | 24 |
| - | 6 | x | = | - | 4 |
| 4 | = | 6 | x |
| 6 | x | = | 4 |
| x | = | 4 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 2 3 |
| x | = | 0.666667 |
