1 5 | = | x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 5 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 5 | ) |
1 5 | ( | x | + | 2 5 | ) | = | x |
1 5 | x | + | 1 5 | × | 2 5 | = | x |
1 5 | x | + | 2 25 | = | x |
1 5 | x | − | x | = | - | 2 25 |
| - | 4 5 | x | = | - | 2 25 |
2 25 | = | 4 5 | x |
4 5 | x | = | 2 25 |
| x | = | 2 25 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 2 25 | × | 5 4 |
| = | 1 5 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 10 |
| x | = | 0.1 |
