| ( | a | + | 3 | ) | ( | 3 | a | − | 2 | ) | = | ( | 3 | a | + | 6 | ) | a |
| Left side of the equation = | a | ( | 3 | a | − | 2 | ) | + | 3 | ( | 3 | a | − | 2 | ) |
| = | a | × | 3 | a | − | a | × | 2 | + | 3 | ( | 3 | a | − | 2 | ) |
| = | a | × | 3 | a | − | 2 | a | + | 3 | × | 3 | a | − | 3 | × | 2 |
| = | a | × | 3 | a | − | 2 | a | + | 9 | a | − | 6 |
| = | a | × | 3 | a | + | 7 | a | − | 6 |
| a | × | 3 | a | + | 7 | a | − | 6 | = | ( | 3 | a | + | 6 | ) | a |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | a | a | + | 6 | a |
| a | × | 3 | a | + | 7 | a | − | 6 | = | 3 | a | a | + | 6 | a |
