| ( | 3 | x | − | 10 | ) | ÷ | ( | 4 | x | + | 10 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 4 | x | + | 10 | ) |
| ( | 3 | x | − | 10 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | 4 | x | + | 10 | ) |
| 3 | x | − | 10 | = | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | 4 | x | + | 10 | ) |
| 3 | x | − | 10 | = | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | 4 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | 10 |
| 3 | x | − | 10 | = | 2 3 | x | + | 5 3 |
| 3 | x | − | 2 3 | x | = | 5 3 | + | 10 |
7 3 | x | = | 5 3 | + | 10 |
7 3 | x | = | 35 3 |
| x | = | 35 3 | ÷ | 7 3 |
| = | 35 3 | × | 3 7 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 |
