| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 3 | × | 2 |
| = | 3 | x | + | 6 |
| 3 | x | + | 6 | = | x | − | 1 | − | 2 | − | 3 | − | 4 | − | 5 | − | 6 | − | 7 | − | 8 | − | 9 | − | 0 | − | 8 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | − | 77 |
| 3 | x | + | 6 | = | x | − | 77 |
| 3 | x | − | x | = | - | 77 | − | 6 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 77 | − | 6 |
| 2 | x | = | - | 83 |
| x | = | - | 83 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 83 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | - | 83 2 |
| x | = | - 41.5 |
