| 1 | − | x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 13800 | ) | = | 1 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 13800 | ) |
| 1 | ( | x | + | 13800 | ) | − | x | = | 1 4 | ( | x | + | 13800 | ) |
| 1 | x | + | 1 | × | 13800 | − | x | = | 1 4 | ( | x | + | 13800 | ) |
| 1 | x | + | 1 | × | 13800 | − | x | = | 1 4 | x | + | 1 4 | × | 13800 |
| 1 | x | + | 13800 | − | x | = | 1 4 | x | + | 3450 |
| 0 | x | + | 13800 | = | 1 4 | x | + | 3450 |
| - | 1 4 | x | = | 3450 | − | 13800 |
| - | 1 4 | x | = | - | 10350 |
| 10350 | = | 1 4 | x |
1 4 | x | = | 10350 |
| x | = | 10350 | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | 10350 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 41400 |
