| 225 | ÷ | x | + | 450 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 15 | ) | = | 8 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 225 | + | 450 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 15 | ) | × | x | = | 8 | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 15 | ) |
| 225 | ( | x | − | 15 | ) | + | 450 | x | = | 8 | x | ( | x | − | 15 | ) |
| 225 | x | − | 225 | × | 15 | + | 450 | x | = | 8 | x | ( | x | − | 15 | ) |
| 225 | x | − | 225 | × | 15 | + | 450 | x | = | 8 | x | x | − | 8 | x | × | 15 |
| 225 | x | − | 3375 | + | 450 | x | = | 8 | x | x | − | 120 | x |
| 675 | x | − | 3375 | = | 8 | x | x | − | 120 | x |
