| x | ÷ | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 83 2000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 83 2000 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 83 2000 | x | + | 83 2000 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 83 2000 | x | + | 83 1000 |
| x | − | 83 2000 | x | = | 83 1000 |
1917 2000 | x | = | 83 1000 |
| x | = | 83 1000 | ÷ | 1917 2000 |
| = | 83 1000 | × | 2000 1917 |
| = | 83 | × | 2 1917 |
| x | = | 166 1917 |
| x | = | 0.086594 |
