| ( | x | + | 35 | ) | ÷ | ( | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | − | 35 | ) | = | 9 | ÷ | 8 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | − | 35 | ) |
| ( | x | + | 35 | ) | = | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | ( | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | − | 35 | ) |
| x | + | 35 | = | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | ( | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | − | 35 | ) |
| x | + | 35 | = | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | − | 9 | ÷ | 8 | × | 35 |
| x | + | 35 | = | 81 64 | x | − | 315 8 |
| x | − | 81 64 | x | = | - | 315 8 | − | 35 |
| - | 17 64 | x | = | - | 315 8 | − | 35 |
| - | 17 64 | x | = | - | 595 8 |
595 8 | = | 17 64 | x |
17 64 | x | = | 595 8 |
| x | = | 595 8 | ÷ | 17 64 |
| = | 595 8 | × | 64 17 |
| = | 35 | × | 8 |
| x | = | 280 |
