| 9 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | − | 5 | = | 32 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 9 | − | 5 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | = | 32 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 9 | − | 5 | x | − | 5 | × | 4 | = | 32 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 9 | − | 5 | x | − | 5 | × | 4 | = | 32 | x | + | 32 | × | 4 |
| 9 | − | 5 | x | − | 20 | = | 32 | x | + | 128 |
| - | 11 | − | 5 | x | = | 32 | x | + | 128 |
| - | 5 | x | − | 32 | x | = | 128 | + | 11 |
| - | 37 | x | = | 128 | + | 11 |
| - | 37 | x | = | 139 |
| - | 139 | = | 37 | x |
| 37 | x | = | - | 139 |
| x | = | - | 139 | ÷ | 37 |
| = | - | 139 | × | 1 37 |
| x | = | - | 139 37 |
| x | = | - 3.756757 |
