| 29 | ( | 18 | x | + | 22 | ) | − | 19454 | = | 39 | x | + | 21 |
| Left side of the equation = | 29 | × | 18 | x | + | 29 | × | 22 | − | 19454 |
| = | 522 | x | + | 638 | − | 19454 |
| = | 522 | x | − | 18816 |
| 522 | x | − | 18816 | = | 39 | x | + | 21 |
| 522 | x | − | 39 | x | = | 21 | + | 18816 |
| 483 | x | = | 21 | + | 18816 |
| 483 | x | = | 18837 |
| x | = | 18837 | ÷ | 483 |
| = | 18837 | × | 1 483 |
| = | 39 | × | 1 |
