| = | - | 82 | − | 45 | × | 6 | − | 45 | x |
| = | - | 82 | − | 270 | − | 45 | x |
| = | - | 352 | − | 45 | x |
| - | 352 | − | 45 | x | = | - | 8 | ( | 8 | x | + | 6 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 8 | × | 8 | x | − | 8 | × | 6 |
| = | - | 64 | x | − | 48 |
| - | 352 | − | 45 | x | = | - | 64 | x | − | 48 |
