987 1000 | = | x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 40 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 40 | ) |
987 1000 | ( | x | + | 40 | ) | = | x |
987 1000 | x | + | 987 1000 | × | 40 | = | x |
987 1000 | x | + | 987 25 | = | x |
987 1000 | x | − | x | = | - | 987 25 |
| - | 13 1000 | x | = | - | 987 25 |
987 25 | = | 13 1000 | x |
13 1000 | x | = | 987 25 |
| x | = | 987 25 | ÷ | 13 1000 |
| = | 987 25 | × | 1000 13 |
| = | 987 | × | 40 13 |
| x | = | 39480 13 |
| x | = | 3036.923077 |
