| ( | 18500 | + | 211 25 | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 18500 | + | X | ) | = | 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 18500 | + | X | ) |
| ( | 18500 | + | 211 25 | X | ) | = | 10 | ( | 18500 | + | X | ) |
| 18500 | + | 211 25 | X | = | 10 | ( | 18500 | + | X | ) |
| 18500 | + | 211 25 | X | = | 10 | × | 18500 | + | 10 | X |
| 18500 | + | 211 25 | X | = | 185000 | + | 10 | X |
211 25 | X | − | 10 | X | = | 185000 | − | 18500 |
| - | 39 25 | X | = | 185000 | − | 18500 |
| - | 39 25 | X | = | 166500 |
| - | 166500 | = | 39 25 | X |
39 25 | X | = | - | 166500 |
| X | = | - | 166500 | ÷ | 39 25 |
| = | - | 166500 | × | 25 39 |
| = | - | 55500 | × | 25 13 |
| X | = | - | 1387500 13 |
| X | = | - 106730.769231 |
