| x | ÷ | ( | 6000 | − | x | ) | × | 100 100 | = | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 6000 | − | x | ) |
| x | × | 100 100 | = | 5 | ( | 6000 | − | x | ) |
| x | × | 100 100 | = | 5 | × | 6000 | − | 5 | x |
| x | × | 100 100 | = | 30000 | − | 5 | x |
100 100 | x | + | 5 | x | = | 30000 |
| 6 | x | = | 30000 |
| x | = | 30000 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 30000 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 5000 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5000 |
