| 19622 | − | 18 | x | = | 38 | ( | 20 | x | + | 25 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 38 | × | 20 | x | + | 38 | × | 25 |
| = | 760 | x | + | 950 |
| 19622 | − | 18 | x | = | 760 | x | + | 950 |
| - | 18 | x | − | 760 | x | = | 950 | − | 19622 |
| - | 778 | x | = | 950 | − | 19622 |
| - | 778 | x | = | - | 18672 |
| 18672 | = | 778 | x |
| 778 | x | = | 18672 |
| x | = | 18672 | ÷ | 778 |
| = | 18672 | × | 1 778 |
| = | 9336 | × | 1 389 |
| x | = | 9336 389 |
| x | = | 24 |
