| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 5 | x | − | 2 | × | 7 | + | 6 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 10 | x | − | 14 | + | 6 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 10 | x | − | 14 | + | 6 | × | 1 | − | 6 | x |
| = | 10 | x | − | 14 | + | 6 | − | 6 | x |
| = | 4 | x | − | 8 |
| 3 | x | − | 9 | = | 4 | x | − | 8 |
