| 2 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | = | 300 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| 2 | = | 300 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| 2 | = | 300 | x | − | 300 | × | 5 |
| 2 | = | 300 | x | − | 1500 |
| - | 300 | x | = | - | 1500 | − | 2 |
| - | 300 | x | = | - | 1502 |
| 1502 | = | 300 | x |
| 300 | x | = | 1502 |
| x | = | 1502 | ÷ | 300 |
| = | 1502 | × | 1 300 |
| = | 751 | × | 1 150 |
| x | = | 751 150 |
| x | = | 5.006667 |
