| ( | 423 | + | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 446 | + | X | ) | = | 19 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 446 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 423 | + | X | ) | = | 19 20 | ( | 446 | + | X | ) |
| 423 | + | X | = | 19 20 | ( | 446 | + | X | ) |
| 423 | + | X | = | 19 20 | × | 446 | + | 19 20 | X |
| 423 | + | X | = | 4237 10 | + | 19 20 | X |
| X | − | 19 20 | X | = | 4237 10 | − | 423 |
1 20 | X | = | 4237 10 | − | 423 |
1 20 | X | = | 7 10 |
| X | = | 7 10 | ÷ | 1 20 |
| = | 7 10 | × | 20 |
| = | 7 | × | 2 |
| X | = | 14 |
