| ( | 2 5 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | = | 3 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| ( | 2 5 | x | ) | = | 3 10 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
2 5 | x | = | 3 10 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
2 5 | x | = | 3 10 | x | + | 3 10 | × | 5 |
2 5 | x | = | 3 10 | x | + | 3 2 |
2 5 | x | − | 3 10 | x | = | 3 2 |
1 10 | x | = | 3 2 |
| x | = | 3 2 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | 3 2 | × | 10 |
| = | 3 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 15 |
