| ( | 3 | x | − | 120 | ) | ÷ | ( | 2 | x | − | 120 | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 9 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 2 | x | − | 120 | ) |
| ( | 3 | x | − | 120 | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 9 | × | ( | 2 | x | − | 120 | ) |
| 3 | x | − | 120 | = | 5 | ÷ | 9 | × | ( | 2 | x | − | 120 | ) |
| 3 | x | − | 120 | = | 5 | ÷ | 9 | × | 2 | x | − | 5 | ÷ | 9 | × | 120 |
| 3 | x | − | 120 | = | 10 9 | x | − | 200 3 |
| 3 | x | − | 10 9 | x | = | - | 200 3 | + | 120 |
17 9 | x | = | - | 200 3 | + | 120 |
17 9 | x | = | 160 3 |
| x | = | 160 3 | ÷ | 17 9 |
| = | 160 3 | × | 9 17 |
| = | 160 | × | 3 17 |
| x | = | 480 17 |
| x | = | 28.235294 |
