| ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 | ) | = | 9 | ÷ | 6 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| ( | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 9 | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| x | − | 1 | = | 9 | ÷ | 6 | × | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| x | − | 1 | = | 9 | ÷ | 6 | × | x | + | 9 | ÷ | 6 | × | 1 |
| x | − | 1 | = | 3 2 | x | + | 3 2 |
| x | − | 3 2 | x | = | 3 2 | + | 1 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 3 2 | + | 1 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 5 2 |
| - | 5 2 | = | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | x | = | - | 5 2 |
| x | = | - | 5 2 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | - | 5 2 | × | 2 |
| = | - | 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 5 |
