Our main aim is to introduce an iterative algorithm for the approximation of a common solution to a splitequality problem for finite families of variational inequalities and the split equality fixed-point problem. By using our iterative algorithm, we state and prove a strong convergence theorem for the approximation of an element in the intersection of the set of solutions of the split-equality problem for finite families of variational inequalities and the set of solutions of the split equality fixed-point problem for countable families of multivalued type-one mappings of the demicontractive type. Finally, we apply our result to study related problems. Our result supplements and extends some recent results available from the literature.
