| Left side of the equation = | 13 | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) | − | 3 | x | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 13 | × | 8 | − | 13 | × | 2 | x | − | 3 | x | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 104 | − | 26 | x | − | 3 | x | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 104 | − | 26 | x | − | 3 | x | × | 8 | + | 3 | x | × | 2 | x |
| = | 104 | − | 26 | x | − | 24 | x | + | 6 | x | x |
| = | 104 | − | 50 | x | + | 6 | x | x |
