| 15 | = | ( | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ) | ÷ | ( | 89 1000 | − | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 89 1000 | − | x | ) |
| 15 | ( | 89 1000 | − | x | ) | = | ( | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ) |
| 15 | × | 89 1000 | − | 15 | x | = | ( | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ) |
| 15 | × | 89 1000 | − | 15 | x | = | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
267 200 | − | 15 | x | = | 2 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
267 200 | − | 15 | x | = | 2 5 | × | 1 | + | 2 5 | x |
267 200 | − | 15 | x | = | 2 5 | + | 2 5 | x |
| - | 15 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 2 5 | − | 267 200 |
| - | 77 5 | x | = | 2 5 | − | 267 200 |
| - | 77 5 | x | = | - | 187 200 |
187 200 | = | 77 5 | x |
77 5 | x | = | 187 200 |
| x | = | 187 200 | ÷ | 77 5 |
| = | 187 200 | × | 5 77 |
| = | 17 40 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 17 280 |
| x | = | 0.060714 |
