| 2 | ( | ( | 2 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 8 | ) | + | 1 | ) | + | 13 | = | 2 | x | + | 27 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | ( | 2 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 8 | ) | + | 2 | × | 1 | + | 13 |
| = | 2 | ( | 2 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 8 | ) | + | 2 | + | 13 |
| = | 2 | ( | 2 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 8 | ) | + | 15 |
| = | 2 | × | 2 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 2 | × | 8 | + | 15 |
| = | 4 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 16 | + | 15 |
| = | 4 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 31 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 4 | × | 6 | + | 31 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 24 | + | 31 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 55 |
| 4 | x | + | 55 | = | 2 | x | + | 27 |
| 4 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 27 | − | 55 |
| 2 | x | = | 27 | − | 55 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 28 |
| x | = | - | 28 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 28 | × | 1 2 |
| = | - | 14 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 14 |
