| ( | 397 5 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | 13 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 397 5 | − | x | ) | = | 13 500 | x |
397 5 | − | x | = | 13 500 | x |
| - | x | − | 13 500 | x | = | - | 397 5 |
| - | 513 500 | x | = | - | 397 5 |
397 5 | = | 513 500 | x |
513 500 | x | = | 397 5 |
| x | = | 397 5 | ÷ | 513 500 |
| = | 397 5 | × | 500 513 |
| = | 397 | × | 100 513 |
| x | = | 39700 513 |
| x | = | 77.387914 |
