| 15 | x | ÷ | ( | 15 | + | x | ) | = | 33 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 15 | + | x | ) |
| 15 | x | = | 33 20 | ( | 15 | + | x | ) |
| 15 | x | = | 33 20 | × | 15 | + | 33 20 | x |
| 15 | x | = | 99 4 | + | 33 20 | x |
| 15 | x | − | 33 20 | x | = | 99 4 |
267 20 | x | = | 99 4 |
| x | = | 99 4 | ÷ | 267 20 |
| = | 99 4 | × | 20 267 |
| = | 33 | × | 5 89 |
| x | = | 165 89 |
| x | = | 1.853933 |
