Given,0.6=x%2F%28x%2B2163%29;

Multiplication Property of Equality,%280.6%29%28x%2B2163%29=%28x%2F%28x%2B2163%29%29%28x%2B2163%29;

Multiplicative Inverse Property,%280.6%29%28x%2B2163%29=x;

Distributive Prop, 0.6x%2B%280.6%29%282163%29=x;

Symmetric Prop., for convenience, x=0.6x%2B%280.6%29%282163%29;

x-0.6x=0.6%2A2163.....!
