| 30 | ÷ | ( | ( | 3 | × | 2 | ) | + | 4 | ) | = | X |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | ( | 3 | × | 2 | ) | + | 4 | ) |
| 30 | = | X | ( | ( | 3 | × | 2 | ) | + | 4 | ) |
| 30 | = | X | ( | 3 | × | 2 | ) | + | X | × | 4 |
| 30 | = | X | × | 3 | × | 2 | + | 4 | X |
| 30 | = | X | × | 6 | + | 4 | X |
| 30 | = | 10 | X |
| - | 10 | X | = | - | 30 |
| 30 | = | 10 | X |
| 10 | X | = | 30 |
| X | = | 30 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 30 | × | 1 10 |
| = | 3 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 3 |
