| 1000 | ÷ | x | = | 950 | ÷ | ( | 1000 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | 1000 | − | x | ) |
| 1000 | ( | 1000 | − | x | ) | = | 950 | x |
| 1000 | × | 1000 | − | 1000 | x | = | 950 | x |
| 1000000 | − | 1000 | x | = | 950 | x |
| - | 1000 | x | − | 950 | x | = | - | 1000000 |
| - | 1950 | x | = | - | 1000000 |
| 1000000 | = | 1950 | x |
| 1950 | x | = | 1000000 |
| x | = | 1000000 | ÷ | 1950 |
| = | 1000000 | × | 1 1950 |
| = | 20000 | × | 1 39 |
| x | = | 20000 39 |
| x | = | 512.820513 |
