| ( | 48 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 89 | + | x | ) | = | 11 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 89 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 48 | + | x | ) | = | 11 20 | ( | 89 | + | x | ) |
| 48 | + | x | = | 11 20 | ( | 89 | + | x | ) |
| 48 | + | x | = | 11 20 | × | 89 | + | 11 20 | x |
| 48 | + | x | = | 979 20 | + | 11 20 | x |
| x | − | 11 20 | x | = | 979 20 | − | 48 |
9 20 | x | = | 979 20 | − | 48 |
9 20 | x | = | 19 20 |
| x | = | 19 20 | ÷ | 9 20 |
| = | 19 20 | × | 20 9 |
| = | 19 | × | 1 9 |
| x | = | 19 9 |
| x | = | 2.111111 |
