| 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | − | 6 | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) | = | 4 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 1 | − | 6 | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | − | 2 | − | 6 | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | − | 2 | − | 6 | × | 2 | x | + | 6 | × | 5 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 2 | − | 12 | x | + | 30 |
| = | - | 10 | x | + | 28 |
| - | 10 | x | + | 28 | = | 4 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | × | 1 | + | 4 | x |
| = | 4 | + | 4 | x |
| - | 10 | x | + | 28 | = | 4 | + | 4 | x |
| - | 10 | x | − | 4 | x | = | 4 | − | 28 |
| - | 14 | x | = | 4 | − | 28 |
| - | 14 | x | = | - | 24 |
| 24 | = | 14 | x |
| 14 | x | = | 24 |
| x | = | 24 | ÷ | 14 |
| = | 24 | × | 1 14 |
| = | 12 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 12 7 |
