| - | 1 5 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 15 | ) | ÷ | 15 | = | 3 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 15 | ) |
| - | 1 5 | ÷ | 15 | = | 3 5 | ( | x | − | 15 | ) |
| - | 1 5 | ÷ | 15 | = | 3 5 | x | − | 3 5 | × | 15 |
| - | 1 75 | = | 3 5 | x | − | 9 |
| - | 3 5 | x | = | - | 9 | + | 1 75 |
| - | 3 5 | x | = | - | 674 75 |
674 75 | = | 3 5 | x |
3 5 | x | = | 674 75 |
| x | = | 674 75 | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 674 75 | × | 5 3 |
| = | 674 15 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 674 45 |
| x | = | 14.977778 |
