| ( | 7 | x | − | 30 | ) | ÷ | ( | 8 | x | + | 30 | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 8 | x | + | 30 | ) |
| ( | 7 | x | − | 30 | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 8 | x | + | 30 | ) |
| 7 | x | − | 30 | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 8 | x | + | 30 | ) |
| 7 | x | − | 30 | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 8 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 30 |
| 7 | x | − | 30 | = | 16 3 | x | + | 20 |
| 7 | x | − | 16 3 | x | = | 20 | + | 30 |
5 3 | x | = | 20 | + | 30 |
5 3 | x | = | 50 |
| x | = | 50 | ÷ | 5 3 |
| = | 50 | × | 3 5 |
| = | 10 | × | 3 |
| x | = | 30 |
