| 35 | x | − | 35 | × | 4 5 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | 35 | x | − | 28 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 35 | x | − | 28 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | 35 | x | − | 28 | x | − | 28 | × | 2 |
| = | 35 | x | − | 28 | x | − | 56 |
| = | 7 | x | − | 56 |
| 7 | x | − | 56 | = | 7 |
| 7 | x | = | 7 | + | 56 |
| 7 | x | = | 63 |
| x | = | 63 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | 63 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 9 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 9 |
