| ( | 40 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 20 | + | x | ) | = | 4574 25 | ÷ | 528 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 20 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 40 | + | x | ) | = | 4574 25 | ÷ | 528 5 | × | ( | 20 | + | x | ) |
| 40 | + | x | = | 4574 25 | ÷ | 528 5 | × | ( | 20 | + | x | ) |
| 40 | + | x | = | 4574 25 | ÷ | 528 5 | × | 20 | + | 4574 25 | ÷ | 528 5 | × | x |
| 40 | + | x | = | 2287 66 | + | 2287 1320 | x |
| x | − | 2287 1320 | x | = | 2287 66 | − | 40 |
| - | 967 1320 | x | = | 2287 66 | − | 40 |
| - | 967 1320 | x | = | - | 353 66 |
353 66 | = | 967 1320 | x |
967 1320 | x | = | 353 66 |
| x | = | 353 66 | ÷ | 967 1320 |
| = | 353 66 | × | 1320 967 |
| = | 353 | × | 20 967 |
| x | = | 7060 967 |
| x | = | 7.300931 |
