| ( | 14 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 12 | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | ) | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 12 | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | ) |
| ( | 14 | + | x | ) | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 12 | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | ) |
| 14 | + | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 12 | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | ) |
| 14 | + | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | 12 | + | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x |
| 14 | + | x | = | 16 | + | 4 5 | x |
| x | − | 4 5 | x | = | 16 | − | 14 |
1 5 | x | = | 16 | − | 14 |
1 5 | x | = | 2 |
| x | = | 2 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 2 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 10 |
