| 2 | x | − | 1478 | = | 10 | ( | x | − | 2000 | ) | + | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | x | − | 10 | × | 2000 | + | 2 |
| = | 10 | x | − | 20000 | + | 2 |
| = | 10 | x | − | 19998 |
| 2 | x | − | 1478 | = | 10 | x | − | 19998 |
| 2 | x | − | 10 | x | = | - | 19998 | + | 1478 |
| - | 8 | x | = | - | 19998 | + | 1478 |
| - | 8 | x | = | - | 18520 |
| 18520 | = | 8 | x |
| 8 | x | = | 18520 |
| x | = | 18520 | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 18520 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 2315 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2315 |
