| ( | 7 | + | x | ) | × | 7 | ÷ | 2 | − | 49 | = | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 7 | + | x | ) | × | 7 2 | − | 49 |
| ( | 7 | + | x | ) | × | 7 2 | − | 49 | = | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 | × | 7 2 | + | x | × | 7 2 | − | 49 |
| = | 49 2 | + | x | × | 7 2 | − | 49 |
| = | - | 49 2 | + | 7 2 | x |
| - | 49 2 | + | 7 2 | x | = | 7 |
7 2 | x | = | 7 | + | 49 2 |
7 2 | x | = | 63 2 |
| x | = | 63 2 | ÷ | 7 2 |
| = | 63 2 | × | 2 7 |
