| ( | 56 | − | x | ) | × | 2 | = | 30 | + | x | − | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 56 | × | 2 | − | x | × | 2 |
| = | 112 | − | x | × | 2 |
| 112 | − | 2 | x | = | 30 | + | x | − | 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 20 | + | x |
| 112 | − | 2 | x | = | 20 | + | x |
| - | 2 | x | − | x | = | 20 | − | 112 |
| - | 3 | x | = | 20 | − | 112 |
| - | 3 | x | = | - | 92 |
| 92 | = | 3 | x |
| 3 | x | = | 92 |
| x | = | 92 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | 92 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 92 3 |
| x | = | 30.666667 |
