| ( | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 724 | + | x | ) | = | 1 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 724 | + | x | ) |
| ( | x | ) | = | 1 1000 | ( | 724 | + | x | ) |
| x | = | 1 1000 | ( | 724 | + | x | ) |
| x | = | 1 1000 | × | 724 | + | 1 1000 | x |
| x | = | 181 250 | + | 1 1000 | x |
| x | − | 1 1000 | x | = | 181 250 |
999 1000 | x | = | 181 250 |
| x | = | 181 250 | ÷ | 999 1000 |
| = | 181 250 | × | 1000 999 |
| = | 181 | × | 4 999 |
| x | = | 724 999 |
| x | = | 0.724725 |
