| ( | x | + | 79 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 148 | ) | = | 7 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 148 | ) |
| ( | x | + | 79 | ) | = | 7 10 | ( | x | + | 148 | ) |
| x | + | 79 | = | 7 10 | ( | x | + | 148 | ) |
| x | + | 79 | = | 7 10 | x | + | 7 10 | × | 148 |
| x | + | 79 | = | 7 10 | x | + | 518 5 |
| x | − | 7 10 | x | = | 518 5 | − | 79 |
3 10 | x | = | 518 5 | − | 79 |
3 10 | x | = | 123 5 |
| x | = | 123 5 | ÷ | 3 10 |
| = | 123 5 | × | 10 3 |
| = | 41 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 82 |
