| ( | ( | 71 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | ) | = | 29 25 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | ) |
| ( | ( | 71 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | ) | = | 29 25 | ( | x | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | ) |
| ( | 71 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | = | 29 25 | ( | x | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | ) |
| ( | 71 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 220 | + | 1 | = | 29 25 | x | ÷ | 220 | + | 29 25 | × | 1 |
| ( | 71 | + | x | ) | × | 1 220 | + | 1 | = | 29 5500 | x | + | 29 25 |
| 71 | × | 1 220 | + | x | × | 1 220 | + | 1 | = | 29 5500 | x | + | 29 25 |
71 220 | + | x | × | 1 220 | + | 1 | = | 29 5500 | x | + | 29 25 |
291 220 | + | 1 220 | x | = | 29 5500 | x | + | 29 25 |
1 220 | x | − | 29 5500 | x | = | 29 25 | − | 291 220 |
| - | 1 1375 | x | = | 29 25 | − | 291 220 |
| - | 1 1375 | x | = | - | 179 1100 |
179 1100 | = | 1 1375 | x |
1 1375 | x | = | 179 1100 |
| x | = | 179 1100 | ÷ | 1 1375 |
| = | 179 1100 | × | 1375 |
| = | 179 4 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 895 4 |
| x | = | 223.75 |
