| ( | X | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) | − | X | ÷ | 45 | = | 6 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) |
| ( | X | + | 5 | ) | − | X | ÷ | 45 | × | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) | = | 6 100 | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) |
| X | + | 5 | − | X | ÷ | 45 | × | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) | = | 6 100 | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) |
| X | + | 5 | − | X | ÷ | 45 | × | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) | = | 6 100 | × | 45 | + | 6 100 | × | 5 |
| X | + | 5 | − | X | × | 1 45 | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) | = | 27 10 | + | 3 10 |
| X | + | 5 | − | X | × | 1 45 | ( | 45 | + | 5 | ) | = | 3 |
| X | + | 5 | − | X | × | 1 45 | × | 45 | − | X | × | 1 45 | × | 5 | = | 3 |
| X | + | 5 | − | X | × | 1 | − | X | × | 1 9 | = | 3 |
| - | 1 9 | X | + | 5 | = | 3 |
| - | 1 9 | X | = | 3 | − | 5 |
| - | 1 9 | X | = | - | 2 |
| 2 | = | 1 9 | X |
1 9 | X | = | 2 |
| X | = | 2 | ÷ | 1 9 |
| = | 2 | × | 9 |
| X | = | 18 |
