| ( | 56 | + | 3 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 35 | + | 4 | x | ) | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 35 | + | 4 | x | ) |
| ( | 56 | + | 3 | x | ) | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 35 | + | 4 | x | ) |
| 56 | + | 3 | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 35 | + | 4 | x | ) |
| 56 | + | 3 | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | 35 | + | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | 4 | x |
| 56 | + | 3 | x | = | 140 3 | + | 16 3 | x |
| 3 | x | − | 16 3 | x | = | 140 3 | − | 56 |
| - | 7 3 | x | = | 140 3 | − | 56 |
| - | 7 3 | x | = | - | 28 3 |
28 3 | = | 7 3 | x |
7 3 | x | = | 28 3 |
| x | = | 28 3 | ÷ | 7 3 |
| = | 28 3 | × | 3 7 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 |
