| 1600 | + | 300 | x | = | 1400 | + | 200 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1400 | + | 200 | x | + | 200 | × | 2 |
| = | 1400 | + | 200 | x | + | 400 |
| = | 1800 | + | 200 | x |
| 1600 | + | 300 | x | = | 1800 | + | 200 | x |
| 300 | x | − | 200 | x | = | 1800 | − | 1600 |
| 100 | x | = | 1800 | − | 1600 |
| 100 | x | = | 200 |
| x | = | 200 | ÷ | 100 |
| = | 200 | × | 1 100 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
