| - | 8 | + | 8 | ( | 8 | + | 2 | ( | - | 5 | + | 6 | x | ) | ) | = | 8 | ( | 11 | x | + | 8 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 8 | + | 8 | × | 8 | + | 8 | × | 2 | ( | - | 5 | + | 6 | x | ) |
| = | - | 8 | + | 64 | + | 16 | ( | - | 5 | + | 6 | x | ) |

| = | 56 | − | 16 | × | 5 | + | 16 | × | 6 | x |
| = | 56 | − | 80 | + | 96 | x |
| = | - | 24 | + | 96 | x |
| - | 24 | + | 96 | x | = | 8 | ( | 11 | x | + | 8 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | × | 11 | x | + | 8 | × | 8 |
| = | 88 | x | + | 64 |
| - | 24 | + | 96 | x | = | 88 | x | + | 64 |
| 96 | x | − | 88 | x | = | 64 | + | 24 |
| 8 | x | = | 64 | + | 24 |
| 8 | x | = | 88 |
| x | = | 88 | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 88 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 11 | × | 1 |
