| ( | 1 1000 | − | 1 100 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1 10 | + | x | ) | = | 1 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 10 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 1 1000 | − | 1 100 | x | ) | = | 1 1000 | ( | 1 10 | + | x | ) |
1 1000 | − | 1 100 | x | = | 1 1000 | ( | 1 10 | + | x | ) |
1 1000 | − | 1 100 | x | = | 1 1000 | × | 1 10 | + | 1 1000 | x |
1 1000 | − | 1 100 | x | = | 1 10000 | + | 1 1000 | x |
| - | 1 100 | x | − | 1 1000 | x | = | 1 10000 | − | 1 1000 |
| - | 11 1000 | x | = | 1 10000 | − | 1 1000 |
| - | 11 1000 | x | = | - | 9 10000 |
9 10000 | = | 11 1000 | x |
11 1000 | x | = | 9 10000 |
| x | = | 9 10000 | ÷ | 11 1000 |
| = | 9 10000 | × | 1000 11 |
| = | 9 10 | × | 1 11 |
| x | = | 9 110 |
| x | = | 0.081818 |
