| ( | 10 | − | y | ) | ( | 48 | + | 8 | y | ) | = | 510 |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 | ( | 48 | + | 8 | y | ) | − | y | ( | 48 | + | 8 | y | ) |
| = | 10 | × | 48 | + | 10 | × | 8 | y | − | y | ( | 48 | + | 8 | y | ) |
| = | 480 | + | 80 | y | − | y | ( | 48 | + | 8 | y | ) |
| = | 480 | + | 80 | y | − | y | × | 48 | − | y | × | 8 | y |
| = | 480 | + | 32 | y | − | y | × | 8 | y |
| 480 | + | 32 | y | − | y | × | 8 | y | = | 510 |
| y1= | 3 2 |
| y2= | 5 2 |
