| 2512 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | = | 16575 | ÷ | ( | 7 | x | − | 120 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | , | ( | 7 | x | − | 120 | ) |
| 2512 | ( | 7 | x | − | 120 | ) | = | 16575 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| 2512 | × | 7 | x | − | 2512 | × | 120 | = | 16575 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| 2512 | × | 7 | x | − | 2512 | × | 120 | = | 16575 | x | − | 16575 | × | 8 |
| 17584 | x | − | 301440 | = | 16575 | x | − | 132600 |
| 17584 | x | − | 16575 | x | = | - | 132600 | + | 301440 |
| 1009 | x | = | - | 132600 | + | 301440 |
| 1009 | x | = | 168840 |
| x | = | 168840 | ÷ | 1009 |
| = | 168840 | × | 1 1009 |
| x | = | 168840 1009 |
| x | = | 167.333994 |
