| 480 | ÷ | x | × | 75 100 | = | 495 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 3 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 3 | ) |
| 480 | × | 75 100 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | = | 495 | x |
| 480 | × | 75 100 | x | + | 480 | × | 75 100 | × | 3 | = | 495 | x |
| 360 | x | + | 1080 | = | 495 | x |
| 360 | x | − | 495 | x | = | - | 1080 |
| - | 135 | x | = | - | 1080 |
| 1080 | = | 135 | x |
| 135 | x | = | 1080 |
| x | = | 1080 | ÷ | 135 |
| = | 1080 | × | 1 135 |
| = | 8 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 8 |
