2 100 | = | x | ÷ | ( | 40 | + | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 40 | + | x | ) |
2 100 | ( | 40 | + | x | ) | = | x |
2 100 | × | 40 | + | 2 100 | x | = | x |
4 5 | + | 2 100 | x | = | x |
2 100 | x | − | x | = | - | 4 5 |
| - | 49 50 | x | = | - | 4 5 |
4 5 | = | 49 50 | x |
49 50 | x | = | 4 5 |
| x | = | 4 5 | ÷ | 49 50 |
| = | 4 5 | × | 50 49 |
| = | 4 | × | 10 49 |
| x | = | 40 49 |
| x | = | 0.816327 |
