| 15 | + | 8 | ÷ | ( | 2 | x | ) | = | 8 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 2 | x | ) |
| 15 | ( | 2 | x | ) | + | 8 | = | 8 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | 2 | × | 1 | ) |
| 15 | × | 2 | x | + | 8 | = | 8 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | 2 | × | 1 | ) |
| 15 | × | 2 | x | + | 8 | = | 8 | ÷ | 1 | × | 2 | × | 1 |
| 30 | x | + | 8 | = | 16 |
| 30 | x | = | 16 | − | 8 |
| 30 | x | = | 8 |
| x | = | 8 | ÷ | 30 |
| = | 8 | × | 1 30 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 15 |
| x | = | 4 15 |
| x | = | 0.266667 |
