| ( | 24 | + | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 26 | + | x | ) | = | 3 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 26 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 24 | + | 2 | x | ) | = | 3 2 | ( | 26 | + | x | ) |
| 24 | + | 2 | x | = | 3 2 | ( | 26 | + | x | ) |
| 24 | + | 2 | x | = | 3 2 | × | 26 | + | 3 2 | x |
| 24 | + | 2 | x | = | 39 | + | 3 2 | x |
| 2 | x | − | 3 2 | x | = | 39 | − | 24 |
1 2 | x | = | 39 | − | 24 |
1 2 | x | = | 15 |
| x | = | 15 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | 15 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 30 |
