| ( | 600 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 500 | + | x | ) | = | 11 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 600 | + | x | ) | = | 11 10 | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
| 600 | + | x | = | 11 10 | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
| 600 | + | x | = | 11 10 | × | 500 | + | 11 10 | x |
| 600 | + | x | = | 550 | + | 11 10 | x |
| x | − | 11 10 | x | = | 550 | − | 600 |
| - | 1 10 | x | = | 550 | − | 600 |
| - | 1 10 | x | = | - | 50 |
| 50 | = | 1 10 | x |
1 10 | x | = | 50 |
| x | = | 50 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | 50 | × | 10 |
| x | = | 500 |
