| ( | 76 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 84 | + | x | ) | = | 23 25 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 84 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 76 | + | x | ) | = | 23 25 | ( | 84 | + | x | ) |
| 76 | + | x | = | 23 25 | ( | 84 | + | x | ) |
| 76 | + | x | = | 23 25 | × | 84 | + | 23 25 | x |
| 76 | + | x | = | 1932 25 | + | 23 25 | x |
| x | − | 23 25 | x | = | 1932 25 | − | 76 |
2 25 | x | = | 1932 25 | − | 76 |
2 25 | x | = | 32 25 |
| x | = | 32 25 | ÷ | 2 25 |
| = | 32 25 | × | 25 2 |
| = | 16 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 16 |
