| 5000 | ÷ | x | = | 2 | ( | 11000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 5000 | = | 2 | ( | 11000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | ) | x |
| 5000 | = | 2 | × | 11000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | × | x |
| 5000 | = | 22000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | × | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) |
| 5000 | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | = | 22000 | x |
| 5000 | x | + | 5000 | × | 1 2 | = | 22000 | x |
| 5000 | x | + | 2500 | = | 22000 | x |
| 5000 | x | − | 22000 | x | = | - | 2500 |
| - | 17000 | x | = | - | 2500 |
| 2500 | = | 17000 | x |
| 17000 | x | = | 2500 |
| x | = | 2500 | ÷ | 17000 |
| = | 2500 | × | 1 17000 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 34 |
| x | = | 5 34 |
| x | = | 0.147059 |
