| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 45 | − | x | x | − | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ( | 35 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 45 | x | − | x | x | − | x | ( | 35 | − | 2 | x | ) | − | 5 | ( | 35 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 45 | x | − | x | x | − | x | × | 35 | + | x | × | 2 | x | − | 5 | ( | 35 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 10 | x | − | x | x | + | x | × | 2 | x | − | 5 | ( | 35 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 10 | x | − | x | x | + | x | × | 2 | x | − | 5 | × | 35 | + | 5 | × | 2 | x |
| = | 10 | x | − | x | x | + | x | × | 2 | x | − | 175 | + | 10 | x |
| = | 20 | x | − | x | x | + | x | × | 2 | x | − | 175 |
| 20 | x | − | x | x | + | x | × | 2 | x | − | 175 | = | 50 |
