| 1 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | = | 10 | ÷ | ( | x | × | 2 | − | 25 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | , | ( | x | × | 2 | − | 25 | ) |
| 1 | ( | x | × | 2 | − | 25 | ) | = | 10 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| 1 | x | × | 2 | − | 1 | × | 25 | = | 10 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| 1 | x | × | 2 | − | 1 | × | 25 | = | 10 | x | − | 10 | × | 5 |
| 2 | x | − | 25 | = | 10 | x | − | 50 |
| 2 | x | − | 10 | x | = | - | 50 | + | 25 |
| - | 8 | x | = | - | 50 | + | 25 |
| - | 8 | x | = | - | 25 |
| 25 | = | 8 | x |
| 8 | x | = | 25 |
| x | = | 25 | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 25 | × | 1 8 |
| x | = | 25 8 |
| x | = | 3.125 |
