| 700 | ÷ | ( | 280 | + | x | ) | = | 11 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 280 | + | x | ) |
| 700 | = | 11 5 | ( | 280 | + | x | ) |
| 700 | = | 11 5 | × | 280 | + | 11 5 | x |
| 700 | = | 616 | + | 11 5 | x |
| - | 11 5 | x | = | 616 | − | 700 |
| - | 11 5 | x | = | - | 84 |
| 84 | = | 11 5 | x |
11 5 | x | = | 84 |
| x | = | 84 | ÷ | 11 5 |
| = | 84 | × | 5 11 |
| x | = | 420 11 |
| x | = | 38.181818 |
