| 600 | ÷ | x | = | 900 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| 600 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | = | 900 | x |
| 600 | x | + | 600 | × | 5 | = | 900 | x |
| 600 | x | + | 3000 | = | 900 | x |
| 600 | x | − | 900 | x | = | - | 3000 |
| - | 300 | x | = | - | 3000 |
| 3000 | = | 300 | x |
| 300 | x | = | 3000 |
| x | = | 3000 | ÷ | 300 |
| = | 3000 | × | 1 300 |
| = | 10 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 10 |
