| 1500 | ÷ | ( | i | − | 1 | ) | + | 500 | ÷ | i | = | 3250 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | i | − | 1 | ) |
| 1500 | + | 500 | ÷ | i | × | ( | i | − | 1 | ) | = | 3250 | ( | i | − | 1 | ) |
| 1500 | + | 500 | ÷ | i | × | i | − | 500 | ÷ | i | × | 1 | = | 3250 | ( | i | − | 1 | ) |
| 1500 | + | 500 | ÷ | i | × | i | − | 500 | ÷ | i | × | 1 | = | 3250 | i | − | 3250 | × | 1 |
| 1500 | + | 500 | ÷ | i | × | i | − | 500 | ÷ | i | = | 3250 | i | − | 3250 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | i |
| 1500 | i | + | 500 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | i | − | 500 | = | 3250 | i | i | − | 3250 | i |
