| 1000 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | + | 2000 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 2 | + | 6000 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 3 | + | 4000 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 4 | = | 7000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| 1000 | + | 2000 | × | 2 | + | 6000 | × | 3 | + | 4000 | × | 4 | = | 7000 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| 1000 | + | 2000 | × | 2 | + | 6000 | × | 3 | + | 4000 | × | 4 | = | 7000 | × | 1 | + | 7000 | x |
| 1000 | + | 4000 | + | 18000 | + | 16000 | = | 7000 | + | 7000 | x |
| 39000 | = | 7000 | + | 7000 | x |
| - | 7000 | x | = | 7000 | − | 39000 |
| - | 7000 | x | = | - | 32000 |
| 32000 | = | 7000 | x |
| 7000 | x | = | 32000 |
| x | = | 32000 | ÷ | 7000 |
| = | 32000 | × | 1 7000 |
| = | 32 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 32 7 |
