| 180 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | − | 180 | ÷ | x | = | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| 180 | − | 180 | ÷ | x | × | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| 180 | − | 180 | ÷ | x | × | x | + | 180 | ÷ | x | × | 2 | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| 180 | − | 180 | ÷ | x | × | x | + | 180 | ÷ | x | × | 2 | = | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 2 |
| 180 | − | 180 | ÷ | x | × | x | + | 360 | ÷ | x | = | 3 | x | − | 6 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 180 | x | − | 180 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | x | + | 360 | = | 3 | x | x | − | 6 | x |
