| ( | 5 | − | 2 | x | ) | ( | 6 | − | 4 | x | ) | = | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | ( | 6 | − | 4 | x | ) | − | 2 | x | ( | 6 | − | 4 | x | ) |
| = | 5 | × | 6 | − | 5 | × | 4 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 6 | − | 4 | x | ) |
| = | 30 | − | 20 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 6 | − | 4 | x | ) |
| = | 30 | − | 20 | x | − | 2 | x | × | 6 | + | 2 | x | × | 4 | x |
| = | 30 | − | 20 | x | − | 12 | x | + | 8 | x | x |
| = | 30 | − | 32 | x | + | 8 | x | x |
| 30 | − | 32 | x | + | 8 | x | x | = | 6 |
