| 10 | = | 16 | X | ÷ | ( | X | + | 2000 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | X | + | 2000 | ) |
| 10 | ( | X | + | 2000 | ) | = | 16 | X |
| 10 | X | + | 10 | × | 2000 | = | 16 | X |
| 10 | X | + | 20000 | = | 16 | X |
| 10 | X | − | 16 | X | = | - | 20000 |
| - | 6 | X | = | - | 20000 |
| 20000 | = | 6 | X |
| 6 | X | = | 20000 |
| X | = | 20000 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 20000 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 10000 | × | 1 3 |
| X | = | 10000 3 |
| X | = | 3333.333333 |
