| ( | 5 | ( | 500 | + | X | ) | + | 240 | ) | ÷ | ( | 600 | + | X | ) | = | 47 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 600 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 5 | ( | 500 | + | X | ) | + | 240 | ) | = | 47 10 | ( | 600 | + | X | ) |
| 5 | ( | 500 | + | X | ) | + | 240 | = | 47 10 | ( | 600 | + | X | ) |
| 5 | ( | 500 | + | X | ) | + | 240 | = | 47 10 | × | 600 | + | 47 10 | X |
| 5 | ( | 500 | + | X | ) | + | 240 | = | 2820 | + | 47 10 | X |
| 5 | × | 500 | + | 5 | X | + | 240 | = | 2820 | + | 47 10 | X |
| 2500 | + | 5 | X | + | 240 | = | 2820 | + | 47 10 | X |
| 2740 | + | 5 | X | = | 2820 | + | 47 10 | X |
| 5 | X | − | 47 10 | X | = | 2820 | − | 2740 |
3 10 | X | = | 2820 | − | 2740 |
3 10 | X | = | 80 |
| X | = | 80 | ÷ | 3 10 |
| = | 80 | × | 10 3 |
| X | = | 800 3 |
| X | = | 266.666667 |
