| 3 | ( | x | − | 4 | ) | − | 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 3 | ) | = | 12 | ( | x | − | 9 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 4 | − | 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 3 | x | − | 12 | − | 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 3 | x | − | 12 | − | 2 | × | 4 | x | + | 2 | × | 3 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 12 | − | 8 | x | + | 6 |
| = | - | 5 | x | − | 6 |
| - | 5 | x | − | 6 | = | 12 | ( | x | − | 9 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 12 | x | − | 12 | × | 9 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 108 |
| - | 5 | x | − | 6 | = | 12 | x | − | 108 |
| - | 5 | x | − | 12 | x | = | - | 108 | + | 6 |
| - | 17 | x | = | - | 108 | + | 6 |
| - | 17 | x | = | - | 102 |
| 102 | = | 17 | x |
| 17 | x | = | 102 |
| x | = | 102 | ÷ | 17 |
| = | 102 | × | 1 17 |
| = | 6 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 6 |
