| ( | 854 | + | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1714 | − | x | ) | = | 75 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1714 | − | x | ) |
| ( | 854 | + | x | ) | = | 75 100 | ( | 1714 | − | x | ) |
| 854 | + | x | = | 75 100 | ( | 1714 | − | x | ) |
| 854 | + | x | = | 75 100 | × | 1714 | − | 75 100 | x |
| 854 | + | x | = | 2571 2 | − | 75 100 | x |
| x | + | 75 100 | x | = | 2571 2 | − | 854 |
7 4 | x | = | 2571 2 | − | 854 |
7 4 | x | = | 863 2 |
| x | = | 863 2 | ÷ | 7 4 |
| = | 863 2 | × | 4 7 |
| = | 863 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | 1726 7 |
| x | = | 246.571429 |
