| 3 | ( | x | × | 2 | − | 4 | ) | + | 7 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 2 | − | 3 | × | 4 | + | 7 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | 6 | x | − | 12 | + | 7 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | 6 | x | − | 12 | + | 7 | x | − | 7 | × | 2 |
| = | 6 | x | − | 12 | + | 7 | x | − | 14 |
| = | 13 | x | − | 26 |
| 13 | x | − | 26 | = | 0 |
| 13 | x | = | 0 | + | 26 |
| 13 | x | = | 26 |
| x | = | 26 | ÷ | 13 |
| = | 26 | × | 1 13 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
