| - | 11 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 9 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | − | 4 | = | 13 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 11 | x | + | 11 | × | 6 | + | 9 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | − | 4 |
| = | - | 11 | x | + | 66 | + | 9 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | − | 4 |
| = | - | 11 | x | + | 62 | + | 9 | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | - | 11 | x | + | 62 | + | 9 | x | − | 9 | × | 5 |
| = | - | 11 | x | + | 62 | + | 9 | x | − | 45 |
| = | - | 2 | x | + | 17 |
| - | 2 | x | + | 17 | = | 13 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 13 | − | 17 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 4 |
| 4 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | 4 |
| x | = | 4 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
