| ( | 2715 | + | 5 | x | + | 248 | ) | ÷ | ( | 573 | + | x | ) | = | 23 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 573 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 2715 | + | 5 | x | + | 248 | ) | = | 23 5 | ( | 573 | + | x | ) |
| 2715 | + | 5 | x | + | 248 | = | 23 5 | ( | 573 | + | x | ) |
| 2715 | + | 5 | x | + | 248 | = | 23 5 | × | 573 | + | 23 5 | x |
| 2715 | + | 5 | x | + | 248 | = | 13179 5 | + | 23 5 | x |
| 2963 | + | 5 | x | = | 13179 5 | + | 23 5 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 23 5 | x | = | 13179 5 | − | 2963 |
2 5 | x | = | 13179 5 | − | 2963 |
2 5 | x | = | - | 1636 5 |
| x | = | - | 1636 5 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | - | 1636 5 | × | 5 2 |
| = | - | 818 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 818 |
