| ( | 187 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 204 | + | x | ) | = | 49 50 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 204 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 187 | + | x | ) | = | 49 50 | ( | 204 | + | x | ) |
| 187 | + | x | = | 49 50 | ( | 204 | + | x | ) |
| 187 | + | x | = | 49 50 | × | 204 | + | 49 50 | x |
| 187 | + | x | = | 4998 25 | + | 49 50 | x |
| x | − | 49 50 | x | = | 4998 25 | − | 187 |
1 50 | x | = | 4998 25 | − | 187 |
1 50 | x | = | 323 25 |
| x | = | 323 25 | ÷ | 1 50 |
| = | 323 25 | × | 50 |
| = | 323 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 646 |
