| ( | 4 | x | − | 56 | ) | ÷ | ( | 3 | x | − | 35 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 | x | − | 35 | ) |
| ( | 4 | x | − | 56 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 3 | x | − | 35 | ) |
| 4 | x | − | 56 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 3 | x | − | 35 | ) |
| 4 | x | − | 56 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | 3 | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | 35 |
| 4 | x | − | 56 | = | 9 4 | x | − | 105 4 |
| 4 | x | − | 9 4 | x | = | - | 105 4 | + | 56 |
7 4 | x | = | - | 105 4 | + | 56 |
7 4 | x | = | 119 4 |
| x | = | 119 4 | ÷ | 7 4 |
| = | 119 4 | × | 4 7 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 17 |
