| 6000 | ÷ | x | = | 8000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| 6000 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | = | 8000 | x |
| 6000 | x | + | 6000 | × | 5 | = | 8000 | x |
| 6000 | x | + | 30000 | = | 8000 | x |
| 6000 | x | − | 8000 | x | = | - | 30000 |
| - | 2000 | x | = | - | 30000 |
| 30000 | = | 2000 | x |
| 2000 | x | = | 30000 |
| x | = | 30000 | ÷ | 2000 |
| = | 30000 | × | 1 2000 |
| = | 15 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 15 |
