| 3 | ( | 2 | x | − | 7 | ) | − | 2 | ( | 5 | x | − | 4 | ) | = | 2 | ( | 3 | − | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | × | 2 | x | − | 3 | × | 7 | − | 2 | ( | 5 | x | − | 4 | ) |
| = | 6 | x | − | 21 | − | 2 | ( | 5 | x | − | 4 | ) |
| = | 6 | x | − | 21 | − | 2 | × | 5 | x | + | 2 | × | 4 |
| = | 6 | x | − | 21 | − | 10 | x | + | 8 |
| = | - | 4 | x | − | 13 |
| - | 4 | x | − | 13 | = | 2 | ( | 3 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 3 | − | 2 | x |
| = | 6 | − | 2 | x |
| - | 4 | x | − | 13 | = | 6 | − | 2 | x |
| - | 4 | x | + | 2 | x | = | 6 | + | 13 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 6 | + | 13 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 19 |
| - | 19 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | - | 19 |
| x | = | - | 19 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 19 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | - | 19 2 |
| x | = | - 9.5 |
