| ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | + | 30 100 | ) | = | 4 | ÷ | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | x | + | 30 100 | ) |
| ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 1 | + | x | + | 30 100 | ) |
| 1 | + | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 1 | + | x | + | 30 100 | ) |
| 1 | + | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | 1 | + | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | 30 100 |
| 1 | + | x | = | 4 5 | + | 4 5 | x | + | 6 25 |
| 1 | + | x | = | 26 25 | + | 4 5 | x |
| x | − | 4 5 | x | = | 26 25 | − | 1 |
1 5 | x | = | 26 25 | − | 1 |
1 5 | x | = | 1 25 |
| x | = | 1 25 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 1 25 | × | 5 |
| = | 1 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1 5 |
| x | = | 0.2 |
