| ( | 287 5 | × | 500 | + | 0 | ) | ÷ | ( | 500 | + | x | ) | = | 13 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
| ( | 287 5 | × | 500 | + | 0 | ) | = | 13 | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
287 5 | × | 500 | + | 0 | = | 13 | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
287 5 | × | 500 | + | 0 | = | 13 | × | 500 | + | 13 | x |
| 28700 | + | 0 | = | 6500 | + | 13 | x |
| 28700 | = | 6500 | + | 13 | x |
| - | 13 | x | = | 6500 | − | 28700 |
| - | 13 | x | = | - | 22200 |
| 22200 | = | 13 | x |
| 13 | x | = | 22200 |
| x | = | 22200 | ÷ | 13 |
| = | 22200 | × | 1 13 |
| x | = | 22200 13 |
| x | = | 1707.692308 |
