| 100 | ÷ | x | = | 800 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 10 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | + | 10 | ) |
| 100 | ( | x | + | 10 | ) | = | 800 | x |
| 100 | x | + | 100 | × | 10 | = | 800 | x |
| 100 | x | + | 1000 | = | 800 | x |
| 100 | x | − | 800 | x | = | - | 1000 |
| - | 700 | x | = | - | 1000 |
| 1000 | = | 700 | x |
| 700 | x | = | 1000 |
| x | = | 1000 | ÷ | 700 |
| = | 1000 | × | 1 700 |
| = | 10 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 10 7 |
| x | = | 1.428571 |
