| 44 | x | ÷ | ( | 44 | + | 100 | x | ) | = | 179 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 44 | + | 100 | x | ) |
| 44 | x | = | 179 500 | ( | 44 | + | 100 | x | ) |
| 44 | x | = | 179 500 | × | 44 | + | 179 500 | × | 100 | x |
| 44 | x | = | 1969 125 | + | 179 5 | x |
| 44 | x | − | 179 5 | x | = | 1969 125 |
41 5 | x | = | 1969 125 |
| x | = | 1969 125 | ÷ | 41 5 |
| = | 1969 125 | × | 5 41 |
| = | 1969 25 | × | 1 41 |
| x | = | 1969 1025 |
| x | = | 1.920976 |
