| X | ÷ | ( | 551 50 | + | X | ) | = | 15 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 551 50 | + | X | ) |
| X | = | 15 100 | ( | 551 50 | + | X | ) |
| X | = | 15 100 | × | 551 50 | + | 15 100 | X |
| X | = | 1653 1000 | + | 15 100 | X |
| X | − | 15 100 | X | = | 1653 1000 |
17 20 | X | = | 1653 1000 |
| X | = | 1653 1000 | ÷ | 17 20 |
| = | 1653 1000 | × | 20 17 |
| = | 1653 50 | × | 1 17 |
| X | = | 1653 850 |
| X | = | 1.944706 |
