| ( | 200 | + | 3 2 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | = | 17 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 200 | + | 3 2 | x | ) | = | 17 10 | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| 200 | + | 3 2 | x | = | 17 10 | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| 200 | + | 3 2 | x | = | 17 10 | × | 100 | + | 17 10 | x |
| 200 | + | 3 2 | x | = | 170 | + | 17 10 | x |
3 2 | x | − | 17 10 | x | = | 170 | − | 200 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | 170 | − | 200 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | - | 30 |
| 30 | = | 1 5 | x |
1 5 | x | = | 30 |
| x | = | 30 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 30 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 150 |
