| ( | 8 | x | − | 60 | ) | ÷ | ( | 5 | x | − | 60 | ) | = | 7 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5 | x | − | 60 | ) |
| ( | 8 | x | − | 60 | ) | = | 7 4 | ( | 5 | x | − | 60 | ) |
| 8 | x | − | 60 | = | 7 4 | ( | 5 | x | − | 60 | ) |
| 8 | x | − | 60 | = | 7 4 | × | 5 | x | − | 7 4 | × | 60 |
| 8 | x | − | 60 | = | 35 4 | x | − | 105 |
| 8 | x | − | 35 4 | x | = | - | 105 | + | 60 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | - | 105 | + | 60 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | - | 45 |
| 45 | = | 3 4 | x |
3 4 | x | = | 45 |
| x | = | 45 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 45 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 15 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 60 |
