| 200 | ÷ | x | = | 200 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 3 5 | ) | × | 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 3 5 | ) |
| 200 | ( | x | + | 3 5 | ) | = | 200 | × | 4 | x |
| 200 | x | + | 200 | × | 3 5 | = | 200 | × | 4 | x |
| 200 | x | + | 120 | = | 800 | x |
| 200 | x | − | 800 | x | = | - | 120 |
| - | 600 | x | = | - | 120 |
| 120 | = | 600 | x |
| 600 | x | = | 120 |
| x | = | 120 | ÷ | 600 |
| = | 120 | × | 1 600 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 1 5 |
| x | = | 0.2 |
