| 12 | x | × | 2 | = | ( | 62 | − | x | ) | × | 23 | × | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 24 | x |
| 24 | x | = | ( | 62 | − | x | ) | × | 23 | × | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | 62 | − | x | ) | × | 69 |
| 24 | x | = | ( | 62 | − | x | ) | × | 69 |
| Right side of the equation = | 62 | × | 69 | − | x | × | 69 |
| = | 4278 | − | x | × | 69 |
| 24 | x | = | 4278 | − | 69 | x |
| 24 | x | + | 69 | x | = | 4278 |
| 93 | x | = | 4278 |
| x | = | 4278 | ÷ | 93 |
| = | 4278 | × | 1 93 |
| = | 46 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 46 |
