| ( | 50 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 50 | − | x | ) | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ÷ | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 50 | − | x | ) | , | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| ( | 50 | + | x | ) | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 50 | − | x | ) |
| 50 | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | + | x | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 50 | − | x | ) |
| 50 | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | + | x | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 50 | − | x | ) |
| 50 | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | + | x | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | 1 3 | ( | 50 | − | x | ) |
| 50 | × | 1 | ÷ | 4 | + | x | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | 1 3 | ( | 50 | − | x | ) |
| 50 | × | 1 | ÷ | 4 | + | x | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | 1 3 | × | 50 | − | 1 3 | x |
25 2 | + | x | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | 50 3 | − | 1 3 | x |
25 2 | + | x | × | 1 | ÷ | 4 | = | 50 3 | − | 1 3 | x |
25 2 | + | x | × | 1 4 | = | 50 3 | − | 1 3 | x |
1 4 | x | + | 1 3 | x | = | 50 3 | − | 25 2 |
7 12 | x | = | 50 3 | − | 25 2 |
7 12 | x | = | 25 6 |
| x | = | 25 6 | ÷ | 7 12 |
| = | 25 6 | × | 12 7 |
| = | 25 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | 50 7 |
| x | = | 7.142857 |
