| ( | 4 | + | 5 | X | ) | ÷ | ( | ( | X | + | 1 | ) | ) | = | 49 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | ( | X | + | 1 | ) | ) |
| ( | 4 | + | 5 | X | ) | = | 49 10 | ( | ( | X | + | 1 | ) | ) |
| 4 | + | 5 | X | = | 49 10 | ( | ( | X | + | 1 | ) | ) |
| 4 | + | 5 | X | = | 49 10 | ( | X | + | 1 | ) |
| 4 | + | 5 | X | = | 49 10 | X | + | 49 10 | × | 1 |
| 4 | + | 5 | X | = | 49 10 | X | + | 49 10 |
| 5 | X | − | 49 10 | X | = | 49 10 | − | 4 |
1 10 | X | = | 49 10 | − | 4 |
1 10 | X | = | 9 10 |
| X | = | 9 10 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | 9 10 | × | 10 |
| = | 9 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 9 |
