| 2 | ÷ | 1 | = | ( | 7 | x | + | 6 | ) | ÷ | ( | 4 | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 4 | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 2 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | 4 | x | + | 2 | ) | = | ( | 7 | x | + | 6 | ) |
| 2 | ÷ | 1 | × | 4 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 1 | × | 2 | = | ( | 7 | x | + | 6 | ) |
| 2 | ÷ | 1 | × | 4 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 1 | × | 2 | = | 7 | x | + | 6 |
| 8 | x | + | 4 | = | 7 | x | + | 6 |
| 8 | x | − | 7 | x | = | 6 | − | 4 |
| x | = | 6 | − | 4 |
| x | = | 6 | − | 4 |
| x | = | 2 |
