40 100 | x | ÷ | 15 | = | 3 | ÷ | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 75 | x |
2 75 | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 10 |
2 75 | x | = | 3 10 |
| x | = | 3 10 | ÷ | 2 75 |
| = | 3 10 | × | 75 2 |
| = | 3 2 | × | 15 2 |
| x | = | 45 4 |
| x | = | 11.25 |
| 2 | ÷ | 5 | = | 21 50 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | = | 21 50 |
2 5 | x | = | 21 50 |
| x | = | 21 50 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 21 50 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 21 10 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 21 20 |
| x | = | 1.05 |
