| ( | 1 | ÷ | x | + | 8 | ) | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| 1 | ÷ | x | × | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | 8 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| 1 | ÷ | x | × | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | 8 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 2 |
| 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | ÷ | 2 | + | 8 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 2 |
1 2 | + | 8 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 2 |
1 2 | + | 8 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 2 |
1 2 | + | 4 | x | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 2 |
1 2 | + | 4 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | x | = | 1 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
1 2 | x | + | 4 | x | x | + | 2 | = | 1 2 | x |
