| 6 | = | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 12 | − | X | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 12 | − | X | ) |
| 6 | ( | 12 | − | X | ) | = | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) |
| 6 | × | 12 | − | 6 | X | = | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) |
| 6 | × | 12 | − | 6 | X | = | 2 5 | × | 1 | + | 2 5 | X |
| 72 | − | 6 | X | = | 2 5 | + | 2 5 | X |
| - | 6 | X | − | 2 5 | X | = | 2 5 | − | 72 |
| - | 32 5 | X | = | 2 5 | − | 72 |
| - | 32 5 | X | = | - | 358 5 |
358 5 | = | 32 5 | X |
32 5 | X | = | 358 5 |
| X | = | 358 5 | ÷ | 32 5 |
| = | 358 5 | × | 5 32 |
| = | 179 | × | 1 16 |
| X | = | 179 16 |
| X | = | 11.1875 |
