| ( | 11 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 110 | + | x | ) | = | 1 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 110 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 11 | + | x | ) | = | 1 5 | ( | 110 | + | x | ) |
| 11 | + | x | = | 1 5 | ( | 110 | + | x | ) |
| 11 | + | x | = | 1 5 | × | 110 | + | 1 5 | x |
| 11 | + | x | = | 22 | + | 1 5 | x |
| x | − | 1 5 | x | = | 22 | − | 11 |
4 5 | x | = | 22 | − | 11 |
4 5 | x | = | 11 |
| x | = | 11 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 11 | × | 5 4 |
| x | = | 55 4 |
| x | = | 13.75 |
