| x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) | = | 857 1000000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) |
| x | = | 857 1000000 | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) |
| x | = | 857 1000000 | x | + | 857 1000000 | × | 1000 |
| x | = | 857 1000000 | x | + | 857 1000 |
| x | − | 857 1000000 | x | = | 857 1000 |
999143 1000000 | x | = | 857 1000 |
| x | = | 857 1000 | ÷ | 999143 1000000 |
| = | 857 1000 | × | 1000000 999143 |
| = | 857 | × | 1000 999143 |
| x | = | 857000 999143 |
| x | = | 0.857735 |
