| ( | 2000 | x | + | 1000 | ) | + | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 22149 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2000 | x | + | 1000 | + | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| = | 2000 | x | + | 1000 | + | 1 | + | x |
| = | 2001 | x | + | 1001 |
| 2001 | x | + | 1001 | = | 22149 20 |
| 2001 | x | = | 22149 20 | − | 1001 |
| 2001 | x | = | 2129 20 |
| x | = | 2129 20 | ÷ | 2001 |
| = | 2129 20 | × | 1 2001 |
| x | = | 2129 40020 |
| x | = | 0.053198 |
