| ( | 584 | − | X | ) | ÷ | X | = | - | 317 2000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | X |
| ( | 584 | − | X | ) | = | - | 317 2000 | X |
| 584 | − | X | = | - | 317 2000 | X |
| - | X | + | 317 2000 | X | = | - | 584 |
| - | 1683 2000 | X | = | - | 584 |
| 584 | = | 1683 2000 | X |
1683 2000 | X | = | 584 |
| X | = | 584 | ÷ | 1683 2000 |
| = | 584 | × | 2000 1683 |
| X | = | 1168000 1683 |
| X | = | 693.998812 |
