| 16 | × | 22 | x | = | ( | 27 | − | x | ) | × | 22 |
| Left side of the equation = | 352 | x |
| 352 | x | = | ( | 27 | − | x | ) | × | 22 |
| Right side of the equation = | 27 | × | 22 | − | x | × | 22 |
| = | 594 | − | x | × | 22 |
| 352 | x | = | 594 | − | 22 | x |
| 352 | x | + | 22 | x | = | 594 |
| 374 | x | = | 594 |
| x | = | 594 | ÷ | 374 |
| = | 594 | × | 1 374 |
| = | 27 | × | 1 17 |
| x | = | 27 17 |
