| 14 | ÷ | X | − | 12 | ÷ | ( | X | − | 2 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | X |
| 14 | − | 12 | ÷ | ( | X | − | 2 | ) | × | X | = | 3 | ÷ | 100 | × | X |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | X | − | 2 | ) |
| 14 | ( | X | − | 2 | ) | − | 12 | X | = | 3 | ÷ | 100 | × | X | ( | X | − | 2 | ) |
| 14 | X | − | 14 | × | 2 | − | 12 | X | = | 3 | ÷ | 100 | × | X | ( | X | − | 2 | ) |
| 14 | X | − | 14 | × | 2 | − | 12 | X | = | 3 | ÷ | 100 | × | X | X | − | 3 | ÷ | 100 | × | X | × | 2 |
| 14 | X | − | 28 | − | 12 | X | = | 3 100 | X | X | − | 3 50 | X |
| 2 | X | − | 28 | = | 3 100 | X | X | − | 3 50 | X |
