| x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 50 | ) | = | 1 2000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 50 | ) |
| x | = | 1 2000 | ( | x | + | 50 | ) |
| x | = | 1 2000 | x | + | 1 2000 | × | 50 |
| x | = | 1 2000 | x | + | 1 40 |
| x | − | 1 2000 | x | = | 1 40 |
1999 2000 | x | = | 1 40 |
| x | = | 1 40 | ÷ | 1999 2000 |
| = | 1 40 | × | 2000 1999 |
| = | 1 | × | 50 1999 |
| x | = | 50 1999 |
| x | = | 0.025013 |
