| ( | 9 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 9 | − | x | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 9 | − | x | ) |
| ( | 9 | + | x | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 9 | − | x | ) |
| 9 | + | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 9 | − | x | ) |
| 9 | + | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | 9 | − | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| 9 | + | x | = | 15 | − | 5 3 | x |
| x | + | 5 3 | x | = | 15 | − | 9 |
8 3 | x | = | 15 | − | 9 |
8 3 | x | = | 6 |
| x | = | 6 | ÷ | 8 3 |
| = | 6 | × | 3 8 |
| = | 3 | × | 3 4 |
| x | = | 9 4 |
| x | = | 2.25 |
