| ( | 400 | − | 10 | x | ) | ( | 6 | − | 79 2 | x | ) | = | 1175 |
| Left side of the equation = | 400 | ( | 6 | − | 79 2 | x | ) | − | 10 | x | ( | 6 | − | 79 2 | x | ) |
| = | 400 | × | 6 | − | 400 | × | 79 2 | x | − | 10 | x | ( | 6 | − | 79 2 | x | ) |
| = | 2400 | − | 15800 | x | − | 10 | x | ( | 6 | − | 79 2 | x | ) |
| = | 2400 | − | 15800 | x | − | 10 | x | × | 6 | + | 10 | x | × | 79 2 | x |
| = | 2400 | − | 15800 | x | − | 60 | x | + | 395 | x | x |
| = | 2400 | − | 15860 | x | + | 395 | x | x |
| 2400 | − | 15860 | x | + | 395 | x | x | = | 1175 |
