| 36000 | ÷ | ( | 3 2 | x | ) | = | 8000 | ÷ | x | + | 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 2 | x | ) |
| 36000 | = | 8000 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | 3 2 | × | 1 | ) | + | 1000 | ( | 3 2 | x | ) |
| 36000 | = | 8000 | ÷ | 1 | × | 3 2 | × | 1 | + | 1000 | ( | 3 2 | x | ) |
| 36000 | = | 12000 | + | 1000 | ( | 3 2 | x | ) |
| 36000 | = | 12000 | + | 1000 | × | 3 2 | x |
| 36000 | = | 12000 | + | 1500 | x |
| - | 1500 | x | = | 12000 | − | 36000 |
| - | 1500 | x | = | - | 24000 |
| 24000 | = | 1500 | x |
| 1500 | x | = | 24000 |
| x | = | 24000 | ÷ | 1500 |
| = | 24000 | × | 1 1500 |
| = | 16 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 16 |
