| ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 9 | + | x | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 9 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 9 | + | x | ) |
| 1 | + | x | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 9 | + | x | ) |
| 1 | + | x | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 9 | + | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| 1 | + | x | = | 6 | + | 2 3 | x |
| x | − | 2 3 | x | = | 6 | − | 1 |
1 3 | x | = | 6 | − | 1 |
1 3 | x | = | 5 |
| x | = | 5 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 5 | × | 3 |
| x | = | 15 |
