| ( | ( | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | × | 54 | ) | ÷ | ( | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) | × | 84 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 28 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) | × | 84 | ) |
| ( | ( | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | × | 54 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 28 | × | ( | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) | × | 84 | ) |
| ( | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | × | 54 | = | 3 | ÷ | 28 | × | ( | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) | × | 84 | ) |
| ( | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | × | 54 | = | 3 | ÷ | 28 | × | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) | × | 84 |
| ( | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | × | 54 | = | 9 | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) |
| 2 | × | 54 | − | 3 | x | × | 54 | = | 9 | ( | 17 | − | 28 | x | ) |
| 2 | × | 54 | − | 3 | x | × | 54 | = | 9 | × | 17 | − | 9 | × | 28 | x |
| 108 | − | 162 | x | = | 153 | − | 252 | x |
| - | 162 | x | + | 252 | x | = | 153 | − | 108 |
| 90 | x | = | 153 | − | 108 |
| 90 | x | = | 45 |
| x | = | 45 | ÷ | 90 |
| = | 45 | × | 1 90 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 2 |
