| 8 | x | + | 4 | = | 3 | ( | 4 | x | − | 3 | ) | + | 2 | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 4 | x | − | 3 | × | 3 | + | 2 | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 12 | x | − | 9 | + | 2 | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 12 | x | − | 9 | + | 2 | × | 3 | x | + | 2 | × | 4 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 9 | + | 6 | x | + | 8 |
| = | 18 | x | − | 1 |
| 8 | x | + | 4 | = | 18 | x | − | 1 |
| 8 | x | − | 18 | x | = | - | 1 | − | 4 |
| - | 10 | x | = | - | 1 | − | 4 |
| - | 10 | x | = | - | 5 |
| 5 | = | 10 | x |
| 10 | x | = | 5 |
| x | = | 5 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 10 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 2 |
| x | = | 0.5 |
