| 8000 | ÷ | ( | 3 2 | + | x | ) | = | 5000 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 2 | + | x | ) | , | x |
| 8000 | x | = | 5000 | ( | 3 2 | + | x | ) |
| 8000 | x | = | 5000 | × | 3 2 | + | 5000 | x |
| 8000 | x | = | 7500 | + | 5000 | x |
| 8000 | x | − | 5000 | x | = | 7500 |
| 3000 | x | = | 7500 |
| x | = | 7500 | ÷ | 3000 |
| = | 7500 | × | 1 3000 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 5 2 |
| x | = | 2.5 |
