| ( | 245830 | − | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) | ) | ÷ | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) | = | 1 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 245830 | − | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) | ) | = | 1 5 | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) |
| 245830 | − | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) | = | 1 5 | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) |
| 245830 | − | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) | = | 1 5 | × | 147198 | + | 1 5 | X |
| 245830 | − | ( | 147198 | + | X | ) | = | 147198 5 | + | 1 5 | X |
| 245830 | − | 147198 | − | X | = | 147198 5 | + | 1 5 | X |
| 98632 | − | X | = | 147198 5 | + | 1 5 | X |
| - | X | − | 1 5 | X | = | 147198 5 | − | 98632 |
| - | 6 5 | X | = | 147198 5 | − | 98632 |
| - | 6 5 | X | = | - | 345962 5 |
345962 5 | = | 6 5 | X |
6 5 | X | = | 345962 5 |
| X | = | 345962 5 | ÷ | 6 5 |
| = | 345962 5 | × | 5 6 |
| = | 172981 | × | 1 3 |
| X | = | 172981 3 |
