| ( | 16 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 36 | = | 9 | ÷ | 19 |
| Left side of the equation = | 16 | × | 1 36 | + | x | × | 1 36 |
| = | 4 9 | + | x | × | 1 36 |
4 9 | + | 1 36 | x | = | 9 | ÷ | 19 |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 19 |
4 9 | + | 1 36 | x | = | 9 19 |
1 36 | x | = | 9 19 | − | 4 9 |
1 36 | x | = | 5 171 |
| x | = | 5 171 | ÷ | 1 36 |
| = | 5 171 | × | 36 |
| = | 5 19 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 20 19 |
| x | = | 1.052632 |
