| ( | 37 10 | x | + | 897 10 | ) | ÷ | ( | 26 | + | x | ) | = | 7 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 26 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 37 10 | x | + | 897 10 | ) | = | 7 2 | ( | 26 | + | x | ) |
37 10 | x | + | 897 10 | = | 7 2 | ( | 26 | + | x | ) |
37 10 | x | + | 897 10 | = | 7 2 | × | 26 | + | 7 2 | x |
37 10 | x | + | 897 10 | = | 91 | + | 7 2 | x |
37 10 | x | − | 7 2 | x | = | 91 | − | 897 10 |
1 5 | x | = | 91 | − | 897 10 |
1 5 | x | = | 13 10 |
| x | = | 13 10 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 13 10 | × | 5 |
| = | 13 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 13 2 |
| x | = | 6.5 |
