| 2 | ÷ | 9 | × | X | + | 2000 | = | 5 | ÷ | 12 | × | X |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 9 | X | + | 2000 |
2 9 | X | + | 2000 | = | 5 | ÷ | 12 | × | X |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 12 | X |
2 9 | X | + | 2000 | = | 5 12 | X |
2 9 | X | − | 5 12 | X | = | - | 2000 |
| - | 7 36 | X | = | - | 2000 |
| 2000 | = | 7 36 | X |
7 36 | X | = | 2000 |
| X | = | 2000 | ÷ | 7 36 |
| = | 2000 | × | 36 7 |
| X | = | 72000 7 |
| X | = | 10285.714286 |
