| x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 229 | ) | = | 5 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 229 | ) |
| x | = | 5 100 | ( | x | + | 229 | ) |
| x | = | 5 100 | x | + | 5 100 | × | 229 |
| x | = | 5 100 | x | + | 229 20 |
| x | − | 5 100 | x | = | 229 20 |
19 20 | x | = | 229 20 |
| x | = | 229 20 | ÷ | 19 20 |
| = | 229 20 | × | 20 19 |
| = | 229 | × | 1 19 |
| x | = | 229 19 |
| x | = | 12.052632 |
