| ( | x | − | 17 10 | ) | ÷ | x | = | 3333 10000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | x | − | 17 10 | ) | = | 3333 10000 | x |
| x | − | 17 10 | = | 3333 10000 | x |
| x | − | 3333 10000 | x | = | 17 10 |
6667 10000 | x | = | 17 10 |
| x | = | 17 10 | ÷ | 6667 10000 |
| = | 17 10 | × | 10000 6667 |
| = | 17 | × | 1000 6667 |
| x | = | 17000 6667 |
| x | = | 2.549873 |
