| 4800 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 20 | ) | = | 1900 | ÷ | x | × | 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 20 | ) | , | x |
| 4800 | x | = | 1900 | × | 2 | ( | x | + | 20 | ) |
| 4800 | x | = | 1900 | × | 2 | x | + | 1900 | × | 2 | × | 20 |
| 4800 | x | = | 3800 | x | + | 76000 |
| 4800 | x | − | 3800 | x | = | 76000 |
| 1000 | x | = | 76000 |
| x | = | 76000 | ÷ | 1000 |
| = | 76000 | × | 1 1000 |
| = | 76 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 76 |
