| 3 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 3 | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 | × | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 3 | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | + | 5 | ÷ | 7 | × | 2 |
| 3 | = | 5 7 | x | + | 10 7 |
| - | 5 7 | x | = | 10 7 | − | 3 |
| - | 5 7 | x | = | - | 11 7 |
11 7 | = | 5 7 | x |
5 7 | x | = | 11 7 |
| x | = | 11 7 | ÷ | 5 7 |
| = | 11 7 | × | 7 5 |
| = | 11 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 11 5 |
| x | = | 2.2 |
