( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 7 | + | x | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 |
Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 7 | + | x | ) |
( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 7 | + | x | ) |
1 | + | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 7 | + | x | ) |
1 | + | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | 7 | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | x |
1 | + | x | = | 21 5 | + | 3 5 | x |
x | − | 3 5 | x | = | 21 5 | − | 1 |
2 5 | x | = | 21 5 | − | 1 |
2 5 | x | = | 16 5 |
x | = | 16 5 | ÷ | 2 5 |
= | 16 5 | × | 5 2 |
= | 8 | × | 1 |
x | = | 8 |
