| ( | 957 20 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | 357 2000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 957 20 | − | x | ) | = | 357 2000 | x |
957 20 | − | x | = | 357 2000 | x |
| - | x | − | 357 2000 | x | = | - | 957 20 |
| - | 2357 2000 | x | = | - | 957 20 |
957 20 | = | 2357 2000 | x |
2357 2000 | x | = | 957 20 |
| x | = | 957 20 | ÷ | 2357 2000 |
| = | 957 20 | × | 2000 2357 |
| = | 957 | × | 100 2357 |
| x | = | 95700 2357 |
| x | = | 40.602461 |
