| 6000 | ÷ | x | − | 6000 | ÷ | 3 2 | = | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 6000 | − | 6000 | ÷ | 3 2 | × | x | = | 5 | x |
| - | 6000 | ÷ | 3 2 | × | x | − | 5 | x | = | - | 6000 |
| - | 4000 | x | − | 5 | x | = | - | 6000 |
| - | 4005 | x | = | - | 6000 |
| 6000 | = | 4005 | x |
| 4005 | x | = | 6000 |
| x | = | 6000 | ÷ | 4005 |
| = | 6000 | × | 1 4005 |
| = | 400 | × | 1 267 |
| x | = | 400 267 |
| x | = | 1.498127 |
