| x | + | 5 | ÷ | 900 | = | 3 2 | x | ÷ | 500 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | + | 1 180 |
| x | + | 1 180 | = | 3 2 | x | ÷ | 500 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 1000 | x |
| x | + | 1 180 | = | 3 1000 | x |
| x | − | 3 1000 | x | = | - | 1 180 |
997 1000 | x | = | - | 1 180 |
| x | = | - | 1 180 | ÷ | 997 1000 |
| = | - | 1 180 | × | 1000 997 |
| = | - | 1 9 | × | 50 997 |
| x | = | - | 50 8973 |
| x | = | - 0.005572 |
