23 10 | = | 1000 | ÷ | ( | 1005 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1005 | − | x | ) |
23 10 | ( | 1005 | − | x | ) | = | 1000 |
23 10 | × | 1005 | − | 23 10 | x | = | 1000 |
4623 2 | − | 23 10 | x | = | 1000 |
| - | 23 10 | x | = | 1000 | − | 4623 2 |
| - | 23 10 | x | = | - | 2623 2 |
2623 2 | = | 23 10 | x |
23 10 | x | = | 2623 2 |
| x | = | 2623 2 | ÷ | 23 10 |
| = | 2623 2 | × | 10 23 |
| = | 2623 | × | 5 23 |
| x | = | 13115 23 |
| x | = | 570.217391 |
