| 1 | ÷ | 2 | = | x | ÷ | ( | 11 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 11 | − | x | ) |
| 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 11 | − | x | ) | = | x |
| 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | 11 | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | = | x |
11 2 | − | 1 2 | x | = | x |
| - | 1 2 | x | − | x | = | - | 11 2 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | - | 11 2 |
11 2 | = | 3 2 | x |
3 2 | x | = | 11 2 |
| x | = | 11 2 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | 11 2 | × | 2 3 |
| = | 11 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 11 3 |
| x | = | 3.666667 |
