| ( | 225 | − | x | − | 21 | − | 3 | ) | ÷ | x | = | 21 | + | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 225 | − | x | − | 21 | − | 3 | ) | = | 21 | x | + | 3 | x |
| 225 | − | x | − | 21 | − | 3 | = | 21 | x | + | 3 | x |
| 201 | − | x | = | 24 | x |
| - | x | − | 24 | x | = | - | 201 |
| - | 25 | x | = | - | 201 |
| 201 | = | 25 | x |
| 25 | x | = | 201 |
| x | = | 201 | ÷ | 25 |
| = | 201 | × | 1 25 |
| x | = | 201 25 |
| x | = | 8.04 |
