| 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | ) |
| 1 | ( | 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | ) | + | 1 | = | 0 |
| 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 | × | 1 | ÷ | x | + | 1 | = | 0 |
| 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | + | 1 | = | 0 |
| 2 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 2 | x | + | 1 | = | 0 |
| 2 | x | = | 0 | − | 1 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 1 |
| x | = | - | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 1 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | - | 1 2 |
| x | = | - 0.5 |
