| 1564 | = | 7000 | x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 20 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 20 | ) |
| 1564 | ( | x | + | 20 | ) | = | 7000 | x |
| 1564 | x | + | 1564 | × | 20 | = | 7000 | x |
| 1564 | x | + | 31280 | = | 7000 | x |
| 1564 | x | − | 7000 | x | = | - | 31280 |
| - | 5436 | x | = | - | 31280 |
| 31280 | = | 5436 | x |
| 5436 | x | = | 31280 |
| x | = | 31280 | ÷ | 5436 |
| = | 31280 | × | 1 5436 |
| = | 7820 | × | 1 1359 |
| x | = | 7820 1359 |
| x | = | 5.754231 |
