| ( | 5 | ( | 31 | + | x | ) | + | 6 | ) | ÷ | ( | 36 | + | x | ) | = | 49 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 36 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 5 | ( | 31 | + | x | ) | + | 6 | ) | = | 49 10 | ( | 36 | + | x | ) |
| 5 | ( | 31 | + | x | ) | + | 6 | = | 49 10 | ( | 36 | + | x | ) |
| 5 | ( | 31 | + | x | ) | + | 6 | = | 49 10 | × | 36 | + | 49 10 | x |
| 5 | ( | 31 | + | x | ) | + | 6 | = | 882 5 | + | 49 10 | x |
| 5 | × | 31 | + | 5 | x | + | 6 | = | 882 5 | + | 49 10 | x |
| 155 | + | 5 | x | + | 6 | = | 882 5 | + | 49 10 | x |
| 161 | + | 5 | x | = | 882 5 | + | 49 10 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 49 10 | x | = | 882 5 | − | 161 |
1 10 | x | = | 882 5 | − | 161 |
1 10 | x | = | 77 5 |
| x | = | 77 5 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | 77 5 | × | 10 |
| = | 77 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 154 |
