| 3 | x | ÷ | ( | 3 | + | x | ) | = | 3 | × | 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 | + | x | ) |
| 3 | x | = | 3 | × | 10 | ( | 3 | + | x | ) |
| 3 | x | = | 3 | × | 10 | × | 3 | + | 3 | × | 10 | x |
| 3 | x | = | 90 | + | 30 | x |
| 3 | x | − | 30 | x | = | 90 |
| - | 27 | x | = | 90 |
| - | 90 | = | 27 | x |
| 27 | x | = | - | 90 |
| x | = | - | 90 | ÷ | 27 |
| = | - | 90 | × | 1 27 |
| = | - | 10 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 10 3 |
| x | = | - 3.333333 |
