1 8 | × | 1 | x | ÷ | ( | 1 8 | x | + | 1 | ) | − | 2 | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 8 | x | + | 1 | ) |
1 8 | × | 1 | x | − | 2 | ( | 1 8 | x | + | 1 | ) | = | 0 |
1 8 | × | 1 | x | − | 2 | × | 1 8 | x | − | 2 | × | 1 | = | 0 |
1 8 | x | − | 1 4 | x | − | 2 | = | 0 |
| - | 1 8 | x | − | 2 | = | 0 |
| - | 1 8 | x | = | 0 | + | 2 |
| - | 1 8 | x | = | 2 |
| - | 2 | = | 1 8 | x |
1 8 | x | = | - | 2 |
| x | = | - | 2 | ÷ | 1 8 |
| = | - | 2 | × | 8 |
| x | = | - | 16 |
