| 1 | ÷ | x | + | 2 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 1 | + | 2 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | x | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 1 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | + | 2 | x | = | 0 |
| 1 | x | + | 1 | × | 2 | + | 2 | x | = | 0 |
| 1 | x | + | 2 | + | 2 | x | = | 0 |
| 3 | x | + | 2 | = | 0 |
| 3 | x | = | 0 | − | 2 |
| 3 | x | = | - | 2 |
| x | = | - | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | - | 2 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 2 3 |
| x | = | - 0.666667 |
