| 30000 | ÷ | x | = | 37500 | ÷ | x | + | 5 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 30000 | = | 37500 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | + | 5 2 | x |
| - | 5 2 | x | = | 37500 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | − | 30000 |
| - | 5 2 | x | = | 37500 | − | 30000 |
| - | 5 2 | x | = | 7500 |
| - | 7500 | = | 5 2 | x |
5 2 | x | = | - | 7500 |
| x | = | - | 7500 | ÷ | 5 2 |
| = | - | 7500 | × | 2 5 |
| = | - | 1500 | × | 2 |
| x | = | - | 3000 |
