| 2 | ( | X | − | 2 | ) | − | 3 | ( | 4 | X | − | 1 | ) | = | 9 | ( | 1 | − | X | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | X | − | 2 | × | 2 | − | 3 | ( | 4 | X | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 2 | X | − | 4 | − | 3 | ( | 4 | X | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 2 | X | − | 4 | − | 3 | × | 4 | X | + | 3 | × | 1 |
| = | 2 | X | − | 4 | − | 12 | X | + | 3 |
| = | - | 10 | X | − | 1 |
| - | 10 | X | − | 1 | = | 9 | ( | 1 | − | X | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 | × | 1 | − | 9 | X |
| = | 9 | − | 9 | X |
| - | 10 | X | − | 1 | = | 9 | − | 9 | X |
| - | 10 | X | + | 9 | X | = | 9 | + | 1 |
| - | X | = | 9 | + | 1 |
| - | X | = | 9 | + | 1 |
| - | X | = | 10 |
| - | 10 | = | X |
| X | = | - | 10 |
