| ( | 5 | ÷ | x | ) | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | x | ) | = | ( | 15 | ÷ | 60 | ) |
| 5 | ÷ | x | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | x | ) | = | ( | 15 | ÷ | 60 | ) |
| 5 | ÷ | x | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 15 | ÷ | 60 |
| 5 | ÷ | x | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 1 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 5 | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | 1 | ) | × | 1 | = | 1 4 | x |
| 5 | − | 4 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | = | 1 4 | x |
| 5 | − | 4 | = | 1 4 | x |
| 1 | = | 1 4 | x |
| - | 1 4 | x | = | - | 1 |
| 1 | = | 1 4 | x |
1 4 | x | = | 1 |
| x | = | 1 | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | 1 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 4 |
