x=\frac{100x}{100}-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Express 100\times \frac{x}{100} as a single fraction.
x=x-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Cancel out 100 and 100.
x-x=-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Subtract x from both sides.
0=-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Combine x and -x to get 0.
-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x^{2}=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 1000.
x^{2}=0
Divide both sides by -1. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.
x=0 x=0
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x=0
The equation is now solved. Solutions are the same.
x=\frac{100x}{100}-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Express 100\times \frac{x}{100} as a single fraction.
x=x-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Cancel out 100 and 100.
x-x=-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Subtract x from both sides.
0=-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}
Combine x and -x to get 0.
-\frac{x^{2}}{1000}=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x^{2}=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 1000.
x^{2}=0
Divide both sides by -1. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±0}{2}
Take the square root of 0^{2}.
x=0
Divide 0 by 2.
