| 2 | + | 3 | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | = | 7 | − | 4 | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | + | 3 | × | 5 | − | 3 | x |
| = | 2 | + | 15 | − | 3 | x |
| = | 17 | − | 3 | x |
| 17 | − | 3 | x | = | 7 | − | 4 | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 | − | 4 | x | + | 4 | × | 3 |
| = | 7 | − | 4 | x | + | 12 |
| = | 19 | − | 4 | x |
| 17 | − | 3 | x | = | 19 | − | 4 | x |
| - | 3 | x | + | 4 | x | = | 19 | − | 17 |
| x | = | 19 | − | 17 |
| x | = | 19 | − | 17 |
| x | = | 2 |
