x | + | x | ÷ | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | = | 30 |
Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
x | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | + | x | = | 30 | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
x | × | 1 | − | x | × | 1 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | = | 30 | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
x | × | 1 | − | x | × | 1 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | = | 30 | × | 1 | − | 30 | × | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
x | × | 1 | − | x | × | 1 3 | + | x | = | 30 | − | 10 |
5 3 | x | = | 20 |
x | = | 20 | ÷ | 5 3 |
= | 20 | × | 3 5 |
= | 4 | × | 3 |
x | = | 12 |
