| ( | 30 | × | 1000 | + | 25 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1000 | + | x | ) | = | 26 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1000 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 30 | × | 1000 | + | 25 | x | ) | = | 26 | ( | 1000 | + | x | ) |
| 30 | × | 1000 | + | 25 | x | = | 26 | ( | 1000 | + | x | ) |
| 30 | × | 1000 | + | 25 | x | = | 26 | × | 1000 | + | 26 | x |
| 30000 | + | 25 | x | = | 26000 | + | 26 | x |
| 25 | x | − | 26 | x | = | 26000 | − | 30000 |
| - | x | = | 26000 | − | 30000 |
| - | x | = | 26000 | − | 30000 |
| - | x | = | - | 4000 |
| 4000 | = | x |
| x | = | 4000 |
