| x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | ( | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x | ) | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | ( | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | × | 1 | ) | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | × | 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | × | 1 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 1 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 2 3 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 2 3 | x | + | 2 3 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 2 3 | x | + | 4 3 |
| x | − | 2 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
1 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 4 3 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 3 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 |
