| x | = | 1 10000 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 10000 | × | 1 | − | 1 10000 | x |
| = | 1 10000 | − | 1 10000 | x |
| x | = | 1 10000 | − | 1 10000 | x |
| x | + | 1 10000 | x | = | 1 10000 |
10001 10000 | x | = | 1 10000 |
| x | = | 1 10000 | ÷ | 10001 10000 |
| = | 1 10000 | × | 10000 10001 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 10001 |
| x | = | 1 10001 |
| x | = | 0.0001 |
