| - | 100000 | + | 25000 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| - | 100000 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | + | 25000 | = | 0 |
| - | 100000 | × | 1 | − | 100000 | x | + | 25000 | = | 0 |
| - | 100000 | − | 100000 | x | + | 25000 | = | 0 |
| - | 75000 | − | 100000 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 100000 | x | = | 0 | + | 75000 |
| - | 100000 | x | = | 75000 |
| - | 75000 | = | 100000 | x |
| 100000 | x | = | - | 75000 |
| x | = | - | 75000 | ÷ | 100000 |
| = | - | 75000 | × | 1 100000 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | - | 3 4 |
| x | = | - 0.75 |
