| ( | x | − | 180 | ) | ÷ | ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 180 | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 180 | ) |
| ( | x | − | 180 | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 180 | ) |
| x | − | 180 | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 180 | ) |
| x | − | 180 | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 180 |
| x | − | 180 | = | 2 5 | x | + | 120 |
| x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 120 | + | 180 |
3 5 | x | = | 120 | + | 180 |
3 5 | x | = | 300 |
| x | = | 300 | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 300 | × | 5 3 |
| = | 100 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 500 |
