| 1000 | ÷ | x | = | 1000 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 95 | ) | − | 190 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | − | 95 | ) |
| 1000 | ( | x | − | 95 | ) | = | 1000 | x | − | 190 | x | ( | x | − | 95 | ) |
| 1000 | x | − | 1000 | × | 95 | = | 1000 | x | − | 190 | x | ( | x | − | 95 | ) |
| 1000 | x | − | 1000 | × | 95 | = | 1000 | x | − | 190 | x | x | + | 190 | x | × | 95 |
| 1000 | x | − | 95000 | = | 1000 | x | − | 190 | x | x | + | 18050 | x |
| 1000 | x | − | 95000 | = | 19050 | x | − | 190 | x | x |
