| ( | 14 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 14 | − | x | ) | = | 16 | ÷ | 12 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 14 | − | x | ) |
| ( | 14 | + | x | ) | = | 16 | ÷ | 12 | × | ( | 14 | − | x | ) |
| 14 | + | x | = | 16 | ÷ | 12 | × | ( | 14 | − | x | ) |
| 14 | + | x | = | 16 | ÷ | 12 | × | 14 | − | 16 | ÷ | 12 | × | x |
| 14 | + | x | = | 56 3 | − | 4 3 | x |
| x | + | 4 3 | x | = | 56 3 | − | 14 |
7 3 | x | = | 56 3 | − | 14 |
7 3 | x | = | 14 3 |
| x | = | 14 3 | ÷ | 7 3 |
| = | 14 3 | × | 3 7 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
