| 35 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| 35 | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| 35 | = | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 5 | ÷ | 3 | × | 5 |
| 35 | = | 5 3 | x | − | 25 3 |
| - | 5 3 | x | = | - | 25 3 | − | 35 |
| - | 5 3 | x | = | - | 130 3 |
130 3 | = | 5 3 | x |
5 3 | x | = | 130 3 |
| x | = | 130 3 | ÷ | 5 3 |
| = | 130 3 | × | 3 5 |
| = | 26 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 26 |
