| ( | 1035 2 | − | y | ) | ÷ | y | = | 38 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | y |
| ( | 1035 2 | − | y | ) | = | 38 500 | y |
1035 2 | − | y | = | 38 500 | y |
| - | y | − | 38 500 | y | = | - | 1035 2 |
| - | 269 250 | y | = | - | 1035 2 |
1035 2 | = | 269 250 | y |
269 250 | y | = | 1035 2 |
| y | = | 1035 2 | ÷ | 269 250 |
| = | 1035 2 | × | 250 269 |
| = | 1035 | × | 125 269 |
| y | = | 129375 269 |
| y | = | 480.947955 |
