| ( | x | + | 5000 | ) | ÷ | 3 4 | ÷ | 17 10 | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 5000 | ) | × | 40 51 |
| ( | x | + | 5000 | ) | × | 40 51 | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 40 51 | + | 5000 | × | 40 51 |
| = | x | × | 40 51 | + | 200000 51 |
40 51 | x | + | 200000 51 | = | x |
40 51 | x | − | x | = | - | 200000 51 |
| - | 11 51 | x | = | - | 200000 51 |
200000 51 | = | 11 51 | x |
11 51 | x | = | 200000 51 |
| x | = | 200000 51 | ÷ | 11 51 |
