| ( | 567 | − | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 325 | − | X | ) | = | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 325 | − | X | ) |
| ( | 567 | − | X | ) | = | 3 | ( | 325 | − | X | ) |
| 567 | − | X | = | 3 | ( | 325 | − | X | ) |
| 567 | − | X | = | 3 | × | 325 | − | 3 | X |
| 567 | − | X | = | 975 | − | 3 | X |
| - | X | + | 3 | X | = | 975 | − | 567 |
| 2 | X | = | 975 | − | 567 |
| 2 | X | = | 408 |
| X | = | 408 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 408 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 204 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 204 |
