| 10 | + | 1 5 | x | ÷ | ( | 50 | + | x | ) | = | 1 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 50 | + | x | ) |
| 10 | ( | 50 | + | x | ) | + | 1 5 | x | = | 1 5 | ( | 50 | + | x | ) |
| 10 | × | 50 | + | 10 | x | + | 1 5 | x | = | 1 5 | ( | 50 | + | x | ) |
| 10 | × | 50 | + | 10 | x | + | 1 5 | x | = | 1 5 | × | 50 | + | 1 5 | x |
| 500 | + | 10 | x | + | 1 5 | x | = | 10 | + | 1 5 | x |
| 500 | + | 51 5 | x | = | 10 | + | 1 5 | x |
51 5 | x | − | 1 5 | x | = | 10 | − | 500 |
| 10 | x | = | 10 | − | 500 |
| 10 | x | = | - | 490 |
| x | = | - | 490 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | - | 490 | × | 1 10 |
| = | - | 49 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 49 |
