| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 2 | x | − | 5 | × | 1 |
| = | 10 | x | − | 5 |
| 10 | x | − | 5 | = | ( | 1 | − | 2 | x | ) | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | ( | x | − | 3 | ) | − | 2 | x | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 | x | − | 1 | × | 3 | − | 2 | x | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 | x | − | 3 | − | 2 | x | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 | x | − | 3 | − | 2 | x | x | + | 2 | x | × | 3 |
| = | 1 | x | − | 3 | − | 2 | x | x | + | 6 | x |
| = | 7 | x | − | 3 | − | 2 | x | x |
