| ( | 20 | + | 17 100 | + | 32 100 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 20 | ) | = | 20 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 20 | ) |
| ( | 20 | + | 17 100 | + | 32 100 | x | ) | = | 20 100 | ( | x | + | 20 | ) |
| 20 | + | 17 100 | + | 32 100 | x | = | 20 100 | ( | x | + | 20 | ) |
| 20 | + | 17 100 | + | 32 100 | x | = | 20 100 | x | + | 20 100 | × | 20 |
| 20 | + | 17 100 | + | 32 100 | x | = | 20 100 | x | + | 4 |
2017 100 | + | 32 100 | x | = | 20 100 | x | + | 4 |
32 100 | x | − | 20 100 | x | = | 4 | − | 2017 100 |
3 25 | x | = | 4 | − | 2017 100 |
3 25 | x | = | - | 1617 100 |
| x | = | - | 1617 100 | ÷ | 3 25 |
| = | - | 1617 100 | × | 25 3 |
| = | - | 539 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 539 4 |
| x | = | - 134.75 |
