| ( | x | + | 10 | ) | ÷ | 12 | = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 12 | + | 10 | × | 1 12 |
| = | x | × | 1 12 | + | 5 6 |
1 12 | x | + | 5 6 | = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 7 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 7 | + | 2 | × | 1 7 |
| = | x | × | 1 7 | + | 2 7 |
1 12 | x | + | 5 6 | = | 1 7 | x | + | 2 7 |
1 12 | x | − | 1 7 | x | = | 2 7 | − | 5 6 |
| - | 5 84 | x | = | 2 7 | − | 5 6 |
| - | 5 84 | x | = | - | 23 42 |
23 42 | = | 5 84 | x |
5 84 | x | = | 23 42 |
| x | = | 23 42 | ÷ | 5 84 |
| = | 23 42 | × | 84 5 |
| = | 23 | × | 2 5 |
| x | = | 46 5 |
| x | = | 9.2 |
