| X | × | 3 2 | ÷ | ( | 5 2 | + | 1 | + | 3 2 | ) | = | 7 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5 2 | + | 1 | + | 3 2 | ) |
| X | × | 3 2 | = | 7 4 | ( | 5 2 | + | 1 | + | 3 2 | ) |
| X | × | 3 2 | = | 7 4 | × | 5 2 | + | 7 4 | × | 1 | + | 7 4 | × | 3 2 |
| X | × | 3 2 | = | 35 8 | + | 7 4 | + | 21 8 |
3 2 | X | = | 35 4 |
| X | = | 35 4 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | 35 4 | × | 2 3 |
| = | 35 2 | × | 1 3 |
| X | = | 35 6 |
| X | = | 5.833333 |
