| 2 | ( | - | 13 | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 4 | ( | 6 | x | + | 2 | ) | + | 8 | = | - | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 2 | × | 13 | x | − | 2 | × | 6 | + | 4 | ( | 6 | x | + | 2 | ) | + | 8 |
| = | - | 26 | x | − | 12 | + | 4 | ( | 6 | x | + | 2 | ) | + | 8 |
| = | - | 26 | x | − | 4 | + | 4 | ( | 6 | x | + | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 26 | x | − | 4 | + | 4 | × | 6 | x | + | 4 | × | 2 |
| = | - | 26 | x | − | 4 | + | 24 | x | + | 8 |
| = | - | 2 | x | + | 4 |
| - | 2 | x | + | 4 | = | - | 8 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 8 | − | 4 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 12 |
| 12 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | 12 |
| x | = | 12 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 12 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 6 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 6 |
