| 5 | ( | 3 | x | − | 7 5 | ) | = | 2 | ( | 6 | x | − | 1 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 3 | x | − | 5 | × | 7 5 |
| = | 15 | x | − | 7 |
| 15 | x | − | 7 | = | 2 | ( | 6 | x | − | 1 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 6 | x | − | 2 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 1 |
| 15 | x | − | 7 | = | 12 | x | − | 1 |
| 15 | x | − | 12 | x | = | - | 1 | + | 7 |
| 3 | x | = | - | 1 | + | 7 |
| 3 | x | = | 6 |
| x | = | 6 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | 6 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
