| = | 59 | + | 70 | + | 70 | x |
| = | 129 | + | 70 | x |
| 129 | + | 70 | x | = | 9 | ( | 8 | x | + | 17 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 | × | 8 | x | + | 9 | × | 17 |
| = | 72 | x | + | 153 |
| 129 | + | 70 | x | = | 72 | x | + | 153 |
| 70 | x | − | 72 | x | = | 153 | − | 129 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 153 | − | 129 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 24 |
| - | 24 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | - | 24 |
| x | = | - | 24 | ÷ | 2 |
