2800x1002800x=122800x2800(x100)x(x100)=122800x2800x+280000x2100x=122(280000)=x2100x560000=x2100xx2100x560000=0x2800x+700x560000=0x(x800)+700(x800)=0(x+700)(x800)=0x=700 or x=800\Rightarrow \dfrac{2800}{x - 100} - \dfrac{2800}{x} = \dfrac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2800x - 2800(x - 100)}{x(x - 100)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2800x - 2800x + 280000}{x^2 - 100x} = \dfrac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2(280000) = x^2 - 100x \\[1em] \Rightarrow 560000 = x^2 - 100x \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 - 100x - 560000 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 - 800x + 700x - 560000 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x(x - 800) + 700(x - 800) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (x + 700)(x - 800) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = -700 \text { or } x = 800

Hence, x = 800.
