| ( | x | + | 24 | ) | ÷ | 6 | × | 17 | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 24 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 24 | ) | × | 17 6 |
| ( | x | + | 24 | ) | × | 17 6 | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 24 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 17 6 | + | 24 | × | 17 6 |
| = | x | × | 17 6 | + | 68 |
17 6 | x | + | 68 | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 24 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 24 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 72 |
17 6 | x | + | 68 | = | 3 | x | − | 72 |
17 6 | x | − | 3 | x | = | - | 72 | − | 68 |
| - | 1 6 | x | = | - | 72 | − | 68 |
| - | 1 6 | x | = | - | 140 |
| 140 | = | 1 6 | x |
1 6 | x | = | 140 |
| x | = | 140 | ÷ | 1 6 |
| = | 140 | × | 6 |
| x | = | 840 |
