| ( | 16 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 43 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 43 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ) |
| ( | 16 | x | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 43 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ) |
| 16 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 43 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ) |
| 16 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | 43 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) |
| 16 | x | = | 43 2 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) |
| 16 | x | = | 43 2 | × | 150 | − | 43 2 | x |
| 16 | x | = | 3225 | − | 43 2 | x |
| 16 | x | + | 43 2 | x | = | 3225 |
75 2 | x | = | 3225 |
| x | = | 3225 | ÷ | 75 2 |
| = | 3225 | × | 2 75 |
| = | 43 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 86 |
