| 900 | ÷ | x | = | 1100 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 900 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 1100 | x |
| 900 | x | + | 900 | × | 2 | = | 1100 | x |
| 900 | x | + | 1800 | = | 1100 | x |
| 900 | x | − | 1100 | x | = | - | 1800 |
| - | 200 | x | = | - | 1800 |
| 1800 | = | 200 | x |
| 200 | x | = | 1800 |
| x | = | 1800 | ÷ | 200 |
| = | 1800 | × | 1 200 |
| = | 9 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 9 |
