| ( | 23622 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | - | 157 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 23622 | − | x | ) | = | - | 157 500 | x |
| 23622 | − | x | = | - | 157 500 | x |
| - | x | + | 157 500 | x | = | - | 23622 |
| - | 343 500 | x | = | - | 23622 |
| 23622 | = | 343 500 | x |
343 500 | x | = | 23622 |
| x | = | 23622 | ÷ | 343 500 |
| = | 23622 | × | 500 343 |
| x | = | 11811000 343 |
