17 500 | = | 18 | x | ÷ | ( | 1090 | + | 18 | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1090 | + | 18 | x | ) |
17 500 | ( | 1090 | + | 18 | x | ) | = | 18 | x |
17 500 | × | 1090 | + | 17 500 | × | 18 | x | = | 18 | x |
1853 50 | + | 153 250 | x | = | 18 | x |
153 250 | x | − | 18 | x | = | - | 1853 50 |
| - | 4347 250 | x | = | - | 1853 50 |
1853 50 | = | 4347 250 | x |
4347 250 | x | = | 1853 50 |
| x | = | 1853 50 | ÷ | 4347 250 |
| = | 1853 50 | × | 250 4347 |
| = | 1853 | × | 5 4347 |
| x | = | 9265 4347 |
| x | = | 2.131355 |
