| 3 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | − | 2 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 2 | x | + | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 3 | × | 2 | − | 2 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| = | 3 | x | + | 6 | − | 2 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| = | 3 | x | + | 6 | − | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 2 |
| = | 3 | x | + | 6 | − | 2 | x | − | 4 |
| = | 1 | x | + | 2 |
| 1 | x | + | 2 | = | 2 | x | + | 4 |
| 1 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 4 | − | 2 |
| - | x | = | 4 | − | 2 |
| - | x | = | 4 | − | 2 |
| - | x | = | 2 |
| - | 2 | = | x |
| x | = | - | 2 |
