| 2 | x | + | ( | x | − | 70 | ) | + | ( | x | − | 60 | ) | + | ( | x | − | 30 | ) | = | 460 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | x | − | 70 | + | ( | x | − | 60 | ) | + | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| = | 3 | x | − | 70 | + | ( | x | − | 60 | ) | + | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| = | 3 | x | − | 70 | + | x | − | 60 | + | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | − | 130 | + | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | − | 130 | + | x | − | 30 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 160 |
| 5 | x | − | 160 | = | 460 |
| 5 | x | = | 460 | + | 160 |
| 5 | x | = | 620 |
| x | = | 620 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 620 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 124 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 124 |
