| 3 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 2 | = | 2 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | + | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 1 | + | 2 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 3 | + | 2 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 1 |
| 3 | x | − | 1 | = | 2 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | + | 7 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 3 | + | 7 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 6 | + | 7 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 13 |
| 3 | x | − | 1 | = | 2 | x | + | 13 |
| 3 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 13 | + | 1 |
| x | = | 13 | + | 1 |
| x | = | 13 | + | 1 |
| x | = | 14 |
