| 374 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 | ) | + | 5 | = | 462 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1 | ) | , | x |
| 374 | x | + | 5 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) | x | = | 462 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| 374 | x | + | 5 | x | x | + | 5 | × | 1 | x | = | 462 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| 374 | x | + | 5 | x | x | + | 5 | × | 1 | x | = | 462 | x | + | 462 | × | 1 |
| 374 | x | + | 5 | x | x | + | 5 | x | = | 462 | x | + | 462 |
| 379 | x | + | 5 | x | x | = | 462 | x | + | 462 |
| x1= | - | 22 5 |
