| ( | 102 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 168 | + | x | ) | = | 309 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 168 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 102 | + | x | ) | = | 309 500 | ( | 168 | + | x | ) |
| 102 | + | x | = | 309 500 | ( | 168 | + | x | ) |
| 102 | + | x | = | 309 500 | × | 168 | + | 309 500 | x |
| 102 | + | x | = | 12978 125 | + | 309 500 | x |
| x | − | 309 500 | x | = | 12978 125 | − | 102 |
191 500 | x | = | 12978 125 | − | 102 |
191 500 | x | = | 228 125 |
| x | = | 228 125 | ÷ | 191 500 |
| = | 228 125 | × | 500 191 |
| = | 228 | × | 4 191 |
| x | = | 912 191 |
| x | = | 4.774869 |
