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