| ( | x | − | 20897 20 | ) | ÷ | x | = | 3 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | x | − | 20897 20 | ) | = | 3 1000 | x |
| x | − | 20897 20 | = | 3 1000 | x |
| x | − | 3 1000 | x | = | 20897 20 |
997 1000 | x | = | 20897 20 |
| x | = | 20897 20 | ÷ | 997 1000 |
| = | 20897 20 | × | 1000 997 |
| = | 20897 | × | 50 997 |
| x | = | 1044850 997 |
| x | = | 1047.993982 |
