| ( | x | ÷ | ( | 25 | ) | + | x | ÷ | ( | 35 | ) | ) | × | 3 | = | 5 |
| x | ÷ | ( | 25 | ) | × | 3 | + | x | ÷ | ( | 35 | ) | × | 3 | = | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 25 | ) |
| x | × | 3 | + | x | ÷ | ( | 35 | ) | × | 3 | ( | 25 | ) | = | 5 | ( | 25 | ) |
| x | × | 3 | + | x | ÷ | ( | 35 | ) | × | 3 | × | 25 | = | 5 | ( | 25 | ) |
| x | × | 3 | + | x | ÷ | ( | 35 | ) | × | 3 | × | 25 | = | 5 | × | 25 |
| x | × | 3 | + | x | ÷ | ( | 35 | ) | × | 75 | = | 125 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 35 | ) |
| 3 | x | ( | 35 | ) | + | x | × | 75 | = | 125 | ( | 35 | ) |
| 3 | x | × | 35 | + | x | × | 75 | = | 125 | ( | 35 | ) |
