| 5 | = | 16 | X | ÷ | ( | X | + | 2000 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | X | + | 2000 | ) |
| 5 | ( | X | + | 2000 | ) | = | 16 | X |
| 5 | X | + | 5 | × | 2000 | = | 16 | X |
| 5 | X | + | 10000 | = | 16 | X |
| 5 | X | − | 16 | X | = | - | 10000 |
| - | 11 | X | = | - | 10000 |
| 10000 | = | 11 | X |
| 11 | X | = | 10000 |
| X | = | 10000 | ÷ | 11 |
| = | 10000 | × | 1 11 |
| X | = | 10000 11 |
| X | = | 909.090909 |
