| ( | 1217 10 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | - | 249 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 1217 10 | − | x | ) | = | - | 249 1000 | x |
1217 10 | − | x | = | - | 249 1000 | x |
| - | x | + | 249 1000 | x | = | - | 1217 10 |
| - | 751 1000 | x | = | - | 1217 10 |
1217 10 | = | 751 1000 | x |
751 1000 | x | = | 1217 10 |
| x | = | 1217 10 | ÷ | 751 1000 |
| = | 1217 10 | × | 1000 751 |
| = | 1217 | × | 100 751 |
| x | = | 121700 751 |
| x | = | 162.050599 |
