| 1100 | − | 50 | x | = | 142 | x | + | 50 | ( | 22 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 142 | x | + | 50 | × | 22 | − | 50 | x |
| = | 142 | x | + | 1100 | − | 50 | x |
| = | 92 | x | + | 1100 |
| 1100 | − | 50 | x | = | 92 | x | + | 1100 |
| - | 50 | x | − | 92 | x | = | 1100 | − | 1100 |
| - | 142 | x | = | 1100 | − | 1100 |
| - | 142 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 0 | = | 142 | x |
| 142 | x | = | - | 0 |
| x | = | - | 0 | ÷ | 142 |
| = | - | 0 | × | 1 142 |
| x | = | 0 |
