| 2000 | ÷ | x | = | 2000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | + | 50 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 2000 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 2000 | x | + | 50 | x | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 2000 | x | + | 2000 | × | 2 | = | 2000 | x | + | 50 | x | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 2000 | x | + | 2000 | × | 2 | = | 2000 | x | + | 50 | x | x | + | 50 | x | × | 2 |
| 2000 | x | + | 4000 | = | 2000 | x | + | 50 | x | x | + | 100 | x |
| 2000 | x | + | 4000 | = | 2100 | x | + | 50 | x | x |
