| 2 | x | + | 3 | ( | 26 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 7 | = | 19 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 3 7 | ( | 26 | − | x | ) |
| 2 | x | + | 3 7 | ( | 26 | − | x | ) | = | 19 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 3 7 | × | 26 | − | 3 7 | x |
| = | 2 | x | + | 78 7 | − | 3 7 | x |
| = | 11 7 | x | + | 78 7 |
11 7 | x | + | 78 7 | = | 19 |
11 7 | x | = | 19 | − | 78 7 |
11 7 | x | = | 55 7 |
| x | = | 55 7 | ÷ | 11 7 |
| = | 55 7 | × | 7 11 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 |
