| ( | 259 5 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | 73 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 259 5 | − | x | ) | = | 73 1000 | x |
259 5 | − | x | = | 73 1000 | x |
| - | x | − | 73 1000 | x | = | - | 259 5 |
| - | 1073 1000 | x | = | - | 259 5 |
259 5 | = | 1073 1000 | x |
1073 1000 | x | = | 259 5 |
| x | = | 259 5 | ÷ | 1073 1000 |
| = | 259 5 | × | 1000 1073 |
| = | 259 | × | 200 1073 |
| x | = | 51800 1073 |
| x | = | 48.275862 |
