| 5 | x | − | 6 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 2 | − | 3 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | − | 6 | x | + | 6 | × | 1 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 6 | x | + | 6 |
| = | - | 1 | x | + | 6 |
| - | 1 | x | + | 6 | = | 2 | − | 3 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | − | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 4 |
| = | 2 | − | 3 | x | − | 12 |
| = | - | 10 | − | 3 | x |
| - | 1 | x | + | 6 | = | - | 10 | − | 3 | x |
| - | 1 | x | + | 3 | x | = | - | 10 | − | 6 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 10 | − | 6 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 16 |
| x | = | - | 16 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 16 | × | 1 2 |
| = | - | 8 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 8 |
