| 2 | ÷ | x | − | 4 | ÷ | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 2 | − | 4 | ÷ | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | × | x | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| 2 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | − | 4 | x | = | 0 |
| 2 | × | 1 | − | 2 | x | − | 4 | x | = | 0 |
| 2 | − | 2 | x | − | 4 | x | = | 0 |
| 2 | − | 6 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 6 | x | = | 0 | − | 2 |
| - | 6 | x | = | - | 2 |
| 2 | = | 6 | x |
| 6 | x | = | 2 |
| x | = | 2 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 1 3 |
| x | = | 0.333333 |
