| 29 | ÷ | ( | 29 | − | x | ) | = | 17 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 29 | − | x | ) |
| 29 | = | 17 10 | ( | 29 | − | x | ) |
| 29 | = | 17 10 | × | 29 | − | 17 10 | x |
| 29 | = | 493 10 | − | 17 10 | x |
17 10 | x | = | 493 10 | − | 29 |
17 10 | x | = | 203 10 |
| x | = | 203 10 | ÷ | 17 10 |
| = | 203 10 | × | 10 17 |
| = | 203 | × | 1 17 |
| x | = | 203 17 |
| x | = | 11.941176 |
