| ( | 5 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1200 | + | x | ) | = | 20 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1200 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 5 | x | ) | = | 20 100 | ( | 1200 | + | x | ) |
| 5 | x | = | 20 100 | ( | 1200 | + | x | ) |
| 5 | x | = | 20 100 | × | 1200 | + | 20 100 | x |
| 5 | x | = | 240 | + | 20 100 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 20 100 | x | = | 240 |
24 5 | x | = | 240 |
| x | = | 240 | ÷ | 24 5 |
| = | 240 | × | 5 24 |
| = | 10 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 50 |
