| ( | 989 100 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | = | 17 25 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 989 100 | − | x | ) | = | 17 25 | x |
989 100 | − | x | = | 17 25 | x |
| - | x | − | 17 25 | x | = | - | 989 100 |
| - | 42 25 | x | = | - | 989 100 |
989 100 | = | 42 25 | x |
42 25 | x | = | 989 100 |
| x | = | 989 100 | ÷ | 42 25 |
| = | 989 100 | × | 25 42 |
| = | 989 4 | × | 1 42 |
| x | = | 989 168 |
| x | = | 5.886905 |
