12 5 | = | 2 5 | ÷ | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
12 5 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 2 5 |
12 5 | × | 1 | − | 12 5 | x | = | 2 5 |
12 5 | − | 12 5 | x | = | 2 5 |
| - | 12 5 | x | = | 2 5 | − | 12 5 |
| - | 12 5 | x | = | - | 2 |
| 2 | = | 12 5 | x |
12 5 | x | = | 2 |
| x | = | 2 | ÷ | 12 5 |
| = | 2 | × | 5 12 |
| = | 1 | × | 5 6 |
| x | = | 5 6 |
| x | = | 0.833333 |
