| 2 | ( | ( | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 5 | ) | − | 19 | ) | − | 7 | = | - | 3 | x | + | 163 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | ( | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 5 | ) | − | 2 | × | 19 | − | 7 |
| = | 2 | ( | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 5 | ) | − | 38 | − | 7 |
| = | 2 | ( | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 5 | ) | − | 45 |
| = | 2 | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 2 | × | 5 | − | 45 |
| = | 2 | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 10 | − | 45 |
| = | 2 | ( | 5 | x | + | 5 | ) | − | 55 |
| = | 2 | × | 5 | x | + | 2 | × | 5 | − | 55 |
| = | 10 | x | + | 10 | − | 55 |
| = | 10 | x | − | 45 |
| 10 | x | − | 45 | = | - | 3 | x | + | 163 |
| 10 | x | + | 3 | x | = | 163 | + | 45 |
| 13 | x | = | 163 | + | 45 |
| 13 | x | = | 208 |
| x | = | 208 | ÷ | 13 |
| = | 208 | × | 1 13 |
| = | 16 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 16 |
