| 2020 | ( | X | − | 2 | ) | − | ( | 1 | − | 3 | X | ) | = | 2019 | X | + | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2020 | X | − | 2020 | × | 2 | − | ( | 1 | − | 3 | X | ) |
| = | 2020 | X | − | 4040 | − | ( | 1 | − | 3 | X | ) |
| = | 2020 | X | − | 4040 | − | 1 | + | 3 | X |
| = | 2023 | X | − | 4041 |
| 2023 | X | − | 4041 | = | 2019 | X | + | 2 |
| 2023 | X | − | 2019 | X | = | 2 | + | 4041 |
| 4 | X | = | 2 | + | 4041 |
| 4 | X | = | 4043 |
| X | = | 4043 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 4043 | × | 1 4 |
| X | = | 4043 4 |
| X | = | 1010.75 |
