| 10 | ( | 500 | x | − | 250000 | ) | ÷ | ( | 1000 | ( | x | + | 500 | ) | ) | = | 1 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1000 | ( | x | + | 500 | ) | ) |
| 10 | ( | 500 | x | − | 250000 | ) | = | 1 10 | ( | 1000 | ( | x | + | 500 | ) | ) |
| 10 | × | 500 | x | − | 10 | × | 250000 | = | 1 10 | ( | 1000 | ( | x | + | 500 | ) | ) |
| 10 | × | 500 | x | − | 10 | × | 250000 | = | 1 10 | × | 1000 | ( | x | + | 500 | ) |
| 5000 | x | − | 2500000 | = | 100 | ( | x | + | 500 | ) |
| 5000 | x | − | 2500000 | = | 100 | x | + | 100 | × | 500 |
| 5000 | x | − | 2500000 | = | 100 | x | + | 50000 |
| 5000 | x | − | 100 | x | = | 50000 | + | 2500000 |
| 4900 | x | = | 50000 | + | 2500000 |
| 4900 | x | = | 2550000 |
| x | = | 2550000 | ÷ | 4900 |
| = | 2550000 | × | 1 4900 |
| = | 25500 | × | 1 49 |
| x | = | 25500 49 |
| x | = | 520.408163 |
