| ( | 504 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 25 | ) | = | 160 | ÷ | 145 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 25 | ) |
| ( | 504 | − | x | ) | = | 160 | ÷ | 145 | × | ( | x | + | 25 | ) |
| 504 | − | x | = | 160 | ÷ | 145 | × | ( | x | + | 25 | ) |
| 504 | − | x | = | 160 | ÷ | 145 | × | x | + | 160 | ÷ | 145 | × | 25 |
| 504 | − | x | = | 32 29 | x | + | 800 29 |
| - | x | − | 32 29 | x | = | 800 29 | − | 504 |
| - | 61 29 | x | = | 800 29 | − | 504 |
| - | 61 29 | x | = | - | 13816 29 |
13816 29 | = | 61 29 | x |
61 29 | x | = | 13816 29 |
| x | = | 13816 29 | ÷ | 61 29 |
| = | 13816 29 | × | 29 61 |
| = | 13816 | × | 1 61 |
| x | = | 13816 61 |
| x | = | 226.491803 |
