| 105 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | X | ) | − | 100 | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | X | ) |
| 105 | − | 100 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) | = | 0 |
| 105 | − | 100 | × | 1 | − | 100 | X | = | 0 |
| 105 | − | 100 | − | 100 | X | = | 0 |
| 5 | − | 100 | X | = | 0 |
| - | 100 | X | = | 0 | − | 5 |
| - | 100 | X | = | - | 5 |
| 5 | = | 100 | X |
| 100 | X | = | 5 |
| X | = | 5 | ÷ | 100 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 100 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 20 |
| X | = | 1 20 |
| X | = | 0.05 |
