| 30 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | = | - | 360 | ÷ | ( | 10 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | , | ( | 10 | − | x | ) |
| 30 | ( | 10 | − | x | ) | = | - | 360 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| 30 | × | 10 | − | 30 | x | = | - | 360 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| 30 | × | 10 | − | 30 | x | = | - | 360 | x | + | 360 | × | 8 |
| 300 | − | 30 | x | = | - | 360 | x | + | 2880 |
| - | 30 | x | + | 360 | x | = | 2880 | − | 300 |
| 330 | x | = | 2880 | − | 300 |
| 330 | x | = | 2580 |
| x | = | 2580 | ÷ | 330 |
| = | 2580 | × | 1 330 |
| = | 86 | × | 1 11 |
| x | = | 86 11 |
| x | = | 7.818182 |
