| 8 | x | + | 8 | ( | x | + | 8 | ) | = | 8 | ( | 8 | x | + | 8 | ) | + | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 | x | + | 8 | x | + | 8 | × | 8 |
| = | 8 | x | + | 8 | x | + | 64 |
| = | 16 | x | + | 64 |
| 16 | x | + | 64 | = | 8 | ( | 8 | x | + | 8 | ) | + | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | × | 8 | x | + | 8 | × | 8 | + | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| = | 64 | x | + | 64 | + | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| = | 64 | x | + | 64 | + | x | − | 8 |
| = | 65 | x | + | 56 |
| 16 | x | + | 64 | = | 65 | x | + | 56 |
| 16 | x | − | 65 | x | = | 56 | − | 64 |
| - | 49 | x | = | 56 | − | 64 |
| - | 49 | x | = | - | 8 |
| 8 | = | 49 | x |
| 49 | x | = | 8 |
| x | = | 8 | ÷ | 49 |
| = | 8 | × | 1 49 |
| x | = | 8 49 |
| x | = | 0.163265 |
