145 2 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 54 | ) | = | 86 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | − | 54 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 145 2 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 145 2 | × | 54 |
| = | 145 4 | x | + | 3915 |
145 4 | x | + | 3915 | = | 86 | ( | x | ÷ | 2 | − | 54 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 86 | x | ÷ | 2 | − | 86 | × | 54 |
| = | 43 | x | − | 4644 |
145 4 | x | + | 3915 | = | 43 | x | − | 4644 |
145 4 | x | − | 43 | x | = | - | 4644 | − | 3915 |
| - | 27 4 | x | = | - | 4644 | − | 3915 |
| - | 27 4 | x | = | - | 8559 |
| 8559 | = | 27 4 | x |
27 4 | x | = | 8559 |
| x | = | 8559 | ÷ | 27 4 |
| = | 8559 | × | 4 27 |
| = | 317 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 1268 |
