| 24 | ÷ | x | − | 24 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 24 | − | 24 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | x | = | 2 | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 24 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | − | 24 | x | = | 2 | x | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 24 | x | + | 24 | × | 2 | − | 24 | x | = | 2 | x | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 24 | x | + | 24 | × | 2 | − | 24 | x | = | 2 | x | x | + | 2 | x | × | 2 |
| 24 | x | + | 48 | − | 24 | x | = | 2 | x | x | + | 4 | x |
| 0 | x | + | 48 | = | 2 | x | x | + | 4 | x |
