| 16 | − | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | = | 9 | − | x | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 16 | − | 5 | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | + | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) |
| = | 16 | − | 5 | × | 5 | + | 5 | x | + | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) |
| = | 16 | − | 25 | + | 5 | x | + | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) |
| = | - | 9 | + | 5 | x | + | x | ( | 5 | − | x | ) |
| = | - | 9 | + | 5 | x | + | x | × | 5 | − | x | x |
| = | - | 9 | + | 10 | x | − | x | x |
| - | 9 | + | 10 | x | − | x | x | = | 9 | − | x | x |
| x= | 9 5 |
