| 3 | ( | ( | 4 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 13 | ) | − | 7 | ) | − | 6 | = | x | − | 154 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | ( | 4 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 13 | ) | − | 3 | × | 7 | − | 6 |
| = | 3 | ( | 4 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 13 | ) | − | 21 | − | 6 |
| = | 3 | ( | 4 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 13 | ) | − | 27 |
| = | 3 | × | 4 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 3 | × | 13 | − | 27 |
| = | 12 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 39 | − | 27 |
| = | 12 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 12 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 12 | × | 1 | + | 12 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 12 | + | 12 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 0 |
| 12 | x | − | 0 | = | x | − | 154 |
| 12 | x | − | x | = | - | 154 |
| 11 | x | = | - | 154 |
| x | = | - | 154 | ÷ | 11 |
| = | - | 154 | × | 1 11 |
| = | - | 14 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 14 |
