| ( | x | − | 16 | ) | ( | 100 | − | 2 | x | ) | = | 560 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ( | 100 | − | 2 | x | ) | − | 16 | ( | 100 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | x | × | 100 | − | x | × | 2 | x | − | 16 | ( | 100 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 100 | x | − | x | × | 2 | x | − | 16 | × | 100 | + | 16 | × | 2 | x |
| = | 100 | x | − | x | × | 2 | x | − | 1600 | + | 32 | x |
| = | 132 | x | − | x | × | 2 | x | − | 1600 |
| 132 | x | − | x | × | 2 | x | − | 1600 | = | 560 |
