| 360 | ÷ | x | − | ( | 1 | + | 360 | − | x | ÷ | 6 5 | × | x | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 6 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 360 | − | ( | 1 | + | 360 | − | x | ÷ | 6 5 | × | x | ) | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 6 | × | x |
| 360 | − | 1 | x | − | 360 | x | + | x | ÷ | 6 5 | × | x | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 6 | × | x |
| 360 | − | 1 | x | − | 360 | x | + | x | × | 5 6 | x | x | = | 5 6 | x |
| 360 | − | 361 | x | + | x | × | 5 6 | x | x | = | 5 6 | x |
