| 17 | ÷ | 7 | × | ( | 2 | + | 7 | ( | 9 | + | 2 | x | ) | ) | = | 8 | ( | 8 | x | + | 8 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 7 | ( | 2 | + | 7 | ( | 9 | + | 2 | x | ) | ) |
17 7 | ( | 2 | + | 7 | ( | 9 | + | 2 | x | ) | ) | = | 8 | ( | 8 | x | + | 8 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 7 | × | 2 | + | 17 7 | × | 7 | ( | 9 | + | 2 | x | ) |

| = | 1105 7 | + | 34 | x |
1105 7 | + | 34 | x | = | 8 | ( | 8 | x | + | 8 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | × | 8 | x | + | 8 | × | 8 |

1105 7 | + | 34 | x | = | 64 | x | + | 64 |
| 34 | x | − | 64 | x | = | 64 | − | 1105 7 |
| - | 30 | x | = | 64 | − | 1105 7 |
| - | 30 | x | = | - | 657 7 |
657 7 | = | 30 | x |
| 30 | x | = | 657 7 |
| x | = | 657 7 | ÷ | 30 |
