| ( | 5 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1200 | ) | = | 2 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1200 | ) |
| ( | 5 | x | ) | = | 2 5 | ( | x | + | 1200 | ) |
| 5 | x | = | 2 5 | ( | x | + | 1200 | ) |
| 5 | x | = | 2 5 | x | + | 2 5 | × | 1200 |
| 5 | x | = | 2 5 | x | + | 480 |
| 5 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 480 |
23 5 | x | = | 480 |
| x | = | 480 | ÷ | 23 5 |
| = | 480 | × | 5 23 |
| x | = | 2400 23 |
| x | = | 104.347826 |
