| Left side of the equation = | 32 | ( | 24 | − | 20 | + | x | ) | − | 2 | x | ( | 24 | − | 20 | + | x | ) |
| = | 32 | × | 24 | − | 32 | × | 20 | + | 32 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 24 | − | 20 | + | x | ) |
| = | 768 | − | 640 | + | 32 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 24 | − | 20 | + | x | ) |
| = | 128 | + | 32 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 24 | − | 20 | + | x | ) |
| = | 128 | + | 32 | x | − | 2 | x | × | 24 | + | 2 | x | × | 20 | − | 2 | x | x |
| = | 128 | + | 32 | x | − | 48 | x | + | 40 | x | − | 2 | x | x |
| = | 128 | + | 24 | x | − | 2 | x | x |
| 128 | + | 24 | x | − | 2 | x | x | = | 150 |
