| 7 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | 1 2 | × | 49 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | y | × | 3 | = | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | 49 2 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | y | × | 3 |
| 7 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | 49 2 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | 3 | y | = | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 | × | 7 | + | 7 | y | − | 49 2 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | 3 | y |
| = | 49 | + | 7 | y | − | 49 2 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) | − | 3 | y |
| = | 49 | + | 4 | y | − | 49 2 | ( | 7 | + | y | ) |
| = | 49 | + | 4 | y | − | 49 2 | × | 7 | − | 49 2 | y |
| = | 49 | + | 4 | y | − | 343 2 | − | 49 2 | y |
| = | - | 245 2 | − | 41 2 | y |
| - | 245 2 | − | 41 2 | y | = | 20 |
| - | 41 2 | y | = | 20 | + | 245 2 |
| - | 41 2 | y | = | 285 2 |
| - | 285 2 | = | 41 2 | y |
41 2 | y | = | - | 285 2 |
| y | = | - | 285 2 | ÷ | 41 2 |
| = | - | 285 2 | × | 2 41 |
