( | 35 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 87 | + | x | ) | = | 1 2 |
Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 87 | + | x | ) |
( | 35 | + | x | ) | = | 1 2 | ( | 87 | + | x | ) |
35 | + | x | = | 1 2 | ( | 87 | + | x | ) |
35 | + | x | = | 1 2 | × | 87 | + | 1 2 | x |
35 | + | x | = | 87 2 | + | 1 2 | x |
x | − | 1 2 | x | = | 87 2 | − | 35 |
1 2 | x | = | 87 2 | − | 35 |
1 2 | x | = | 17 2 |
x | = | 17 2 | ÷ | 1 2 |
= | 17 2 | × | 2 |
= | 17 | × | 1 |
x | = | 17 |
