| 12 | ( | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 4 | x | = | 14 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 12 | × | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | − | 12 | × | 6 | + | 4 | x |
| = | 6 | x | − | 72 | + | 4 | x |
| = | 10 | x | − | 72 |
| 10 | x | − | 72 | = | 14 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 14 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 2 |
| = | 14 | − | 1 3 | x | + | 2 |
| = | 16 | − | 1 3 | x |
| 10 | x | − | 72 | = | 16 | − | 1 3 | x |
| 10 | x | + | 1 3 | x | = | 16 | + | 72 |
31 3 | x | = | 16 | + | 72 |
31 3 | x | = | 88 |
| x | = | 88 | ÷ | 31 3 |
| = | 88 | × | 3 31 |
| x | = | 264 31 |
