| ( | - | 2 | x | + | 96 | ) | ( | 1 4 | x | + | 5 | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 2 | x | ( | 1 4 | x | + | 5 | ) | + | 96 | ( | 1 4 | x | + | 5 | ) |
| = | - | 2 | x | × | 1 4 | x | − | 2 | x | × | 5 | + | 96 | ( | 1 4 | x | + | 5 | ) |
| = | - | 1 2 | x | x | − | 10 | x | + | 96 | ( | 1 4 | x | + | 5 | ) |
| = | - | 1 2 | x | x | − | 10 | x | + | 96 | × | 1 4 | x | + | 96 | × | 5 |
| = | - | 1 2 | x | x | − | 10 | x | + | 24 | x | + | 480 |
| = | - | 1 2 | x | x | + | 14 | x | + | 480 |
| - | 1 2 | x | x | + | 14 | x | + | 480 | = | 0 |
