| ( | 973 5 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 5 4 | x | − | 20 | ) | = | 2 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5 4 | x | − | 20 | ) |
| ( | 973 5 | − | x | ) | = | 2 5 | ( | 5 4 | x | − | 20 | ) |
973 5 | − | x | = | 2 5 | ( | 5 4 | x | − | 20 | ) |
973 5 | − | x | = | 2 5 | × | 5 4 | x | − | 2 5 | × | 20 |
973 5 | − | x | = | 1 2 | x | − | 8 |
| - | x | − | 1 2 | x | = | - | 8 | − | 973 5 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | - | 8 | − | 973 5 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | - | 1013 5 |
1013 5 | = | 3 2 | x |
3 2 | x | = | 1013 5 |
| x | = | 1013 5 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | 1013 5 | × | 2 3 |
| x | = | 2026 15 |
| x | = | 135.066667 |
