| X | ÷ | 2000 | = | X | + | 8 | ÷ | 10000 |
| Right side of the equation = | X | + | 1 1250 |
1 2000 | X | = | X | + | 1 1250 |
1 2000 | X | − | X | = | 1 1250 |
| - | 1999 2000 | X | = | 1 1250 |
| - | 1 1250 | = | 1999 2000 | X |
1999 2000 | X | = | - | 1 1250 |
| X | = | - | 1 1250 | ÷ | 1999 2000 |
| = | - | 1 1250 | × | 2000 1999 |
| = | - | 1 5 | × | 8 1999 |
| X | = | - | 8 9995 |
| X | = | - 0.0008 |
