| ( | 119 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | 333 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 119 | − | x | ) | = | 333 500 | x |
| 119 | − | x | = | 333 500 | x |
| - | x | − | 333 500 | x | = | - | 119 |
| - | 833 500 | x | = | - | 119 |
| 119 | = | 833 500 | x |
833 500 | x | = | 119 |
| x | = | 119 | ÷ | 833 500 |
| = | 119 | × | 500 833 |
| = | 1 | × | 500 7 |
| x | = | 500 7 |
| x | = | 71.428571 |
