| 50 | × | 10 | + | 20 | ( | 35 | − | x | ) | = | 1000 |
| Left side of the equation = | 500 | + | 20 | ( | 35 | − | x | ) |
| 500 | + | 20 | ( | 35 | − | x | ) | = | 1000 |
| Left side of the equation = | 500 | + | 20 | × | 35 | − | 20 | x |
| = | 500 | + | 700 | − | 20 | x |
| = | 1200 | − | 20 | x |
| 1200 | − | 20 | x | = | 1000 |
| - | 20 | x | = | 1000 | − | 1200 |
| - | 20 | x | = | - | 200 |
| 200 | = | 20 | x |
| 20 | x | = | 200 |
| x | = | 200 | ÷ | 20 |
| = | 200 | × | 1 20 |
| = | 10 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 10 |
