| 160 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 16 100 | ) | = | 80 | ÷ | ( | 18 100 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 16 100 | ) | , | ( | 18 100 | − | x | ) |
| 160 | ( | 18 100 | − | x | ) | = | 80 | ( | x | − | 16 100 | ) |
| 160 | × | 18 100 | − | 160 | x | = | 80 | ( | x | − | 16 100 | ) |
| 160 | × | 18 100 | − | 160 | x | = | 80 | x | − | 80 | × | 16 100 |
144 5 | − | 160 | x | = | 80 | x | − | 64 5 |
| - | 160 | x | − | 80 | x | = | - | 64 5 | − | 144 5 |
| - | 240 | x | = | - | 64 5 | − | 144 5 |
| - | 240 | x | = | - | 208 5 |
208 5 | = | 240 | x |
| 240 | x | = | 208 5 |
| x | = | 208 5 | ÷ | 240 |
| = | 208 5 | × | 1 240 |
| = | 13 5 | × | 1 15 |
| x | = | 13 75 |
| x | = | 0.173333 |
