| ( | 4 | + | 2 5 | x | ) | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | + | 2 5 | x | ( | 20 | − | x | ) |
| = | 4 | × | 20 | − | 4 | x | + | 2 5 | x | ( | 20 | − | x | ) |
| = | 80 | − | 4 | x | + | 2 5 | x | ( | 20 | − | x | ) |
| = | 80 | − | 4 | x | + | 2 5 | x | × | 20 | − | 2 5 | x | x |
| = | 80 | − | 4 | x | + | 8 | x | − | 2 5 | x | x |
| = | 80 | + | 4 | x | − | 2 5 | x | x |
| 80 | + | 4 | x | − | 2 5 | x | x | = | 0 |
