| Left side of the equation = | 300 | + | 20 | ( | 60 | − | x | ) | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| = | 300 | + | 20 | × | 60 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) | − | 20 | x | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| = | 300 | + | 1200 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) | − | 20 | x | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| = | 300 | + | 1200 | x | − | 1200 | × | 40 | − | 20 | x | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| = | 300 | + | 1200 | x | − | 48000 | − | 20 | x | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| = | - | 47700 | + | 1200 | x | − | 20 | x | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| = | - | 47700 | + | 1200 | x | − | 20 | x | x | + | 20 | x | × | 40 |
| = | - | 47700 | + | 1200 | x | − | 20 | x | x | + | 800 | x |
