| 100 | − | ( | x | ÷ | 5 | + | 2 | ) | = | 60 | + | 66 | − | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | − | x | ÷ | 5 | − | 2 |
| = | 98 | − | 1 5 | x |
| 98 | − | 1 5 | x | = | 60 | + | 66 | − | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 126 | − | x |
| 98 | − | 1 5 | x | = | 126 | − | x |
| - | 1 5 | x | + | x | = | 126 | − | 98 |
| - | - | 4 5 | x | = | 126 | − | 98 |
| - | - | 4 5 | x | = | 28 |
| - | 28 | = | - | 4 5 | x |
| - | 4 5 | x | = | - | 28 |
| x | = | 28 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 28 | × | 5 4 |
| = | 7 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 35 |
