| 139 | ÷ | ( | 139 | − | x | ) | = | 13 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 139 | − | x | ) |
| 139 | = | 13 10 | ( | 139 | − | x | ) |
| 139 | = | 13 10 | × | 139 | − | 13 10 | x |
| 139 | = | 1807 10 | − | 13 10 | x |
13 10 | x | = | 1807 10 | − | 139 |
13 10 | x | = | 417 10 |
| x | = | 417 10 | ÷ | 13 10 |
| = | 417 10 | × | 10 13 |
| = | 417 | × | 1 13 |
| x | = | 417 13 |
| x | = | 32.076923 |
