| ( | x | + | 321 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1153 | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1153 | ) |
| ( | x | + | 321 | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 1153 | ) |
| x | + | 321 | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 1153 | ) |
| x | + | 321 | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | 1153 |
| x | + | 321 | = | 2 5 | x | + | 2306 5 |
| x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 2306 5 | − | 321 |
3 5 | x | = | 2306 5 | − | 321 |
3 5 | x | = | 701 5 |
| x | = | 701 5 | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 701 5 | × | 5 3 |
| = | 701 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 701 3 |
| x | = | 233.666667 |
