| ( | x | × | 5 | + | 22 5 | × | 1000 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) | = | 24 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) |
| ( | x | × | 5 | + | 22 5 | × | 1000 | ) | = | 24 5 | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) |
| x | × | 5 | + | 22 5 | × | 1000 | = | 24 5 | ( | x | + | 1000 | ) |
| x | × | 5 | + | 22 5 | × | 1000 | = | 24 5 | x | + | 24 5 | × | 1000 |
| x | × | 5 | + | 4400 | = | 24 5 | x | + | 4800 |
| 5 | x | − | 24 5 | x | = | 4800 | − | 4400 |
1 5 | x | = | 4800 | − | 4400 |
1 5 | x | = | 400 |
| x | = | 400 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 400 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 2000 |
