| Left side of the equation = | 7 | × | 43 | − | 7 | x | + | 5 | x | + | 15 |
| = | 301 | − | 7 | x | + | 5 | x | + | 15 |
| = | 316 | − | 2 | x |
| 316 | − | 2 | x | = | 10 | ( | 43 | − | x | ) | + | 7 | x | − | 13 | × | 7 |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | ( | 43 | − | x | ) | + | 7 | x | − | 91 |
| 316 | − | 2 | x | = | 10 | ( | 43 | − | x | ) | + | 7 | x | − | 91 |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | × | 43 | − | 10 | x | + | 7 | x | − | 91 |
| = | 430 | − | 10 | x | + | 7 | x | − | 91 |
| = | 339 | − | 3 | x |
| 316 | − | 2 | x | = | 339 | − | 3 | x |
| - | 2 | x | + | 3 | x | = | 339 | − | 316 |
