| 469 | = | 60 | a | ÷ | ( | 120 | + | a | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 120 | + | a | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| 469 | ( | 120 | + | a | ÷ | 2 | ) | = | 60 | a |
| 469 | × | 120 | + | 469 | a | ÷ | 2 | = | 60 | a |
| 56280 | + | 469 2 | a | = | 60 | a |
469 2 | a | − | 60 | a | = | - | 56280 |
349 2 | a | = | - | 56280 |
| a | = | - | 56280 | ÷ | 349 2 |
| = | - | 56280 | × | 2 349 |
| a | = | - | 112560 349 |
| a | = | - 322.52149 |
