| 10 | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x | + | x | + | 27 | = | 10 | x | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 | × | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | x | + | 27 |
| = | 20 3 | x | + | x | + | 27 |
| = | 23 3 | x | + | 27 |
23 3 | x | + | 27 | = | 10 | x | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| = | 10 | x | + | 2 3 | x |
| = | 32 3 | x |
23 3 | x | + | 27 | = | 32 3 | x |
23 3 | x | − | 32 3 | x | = | - | 27 |
| - | 3 | x | = | - | 27 |
| 27 | = | 3 | x |
| 3 | x | = | 27 |
| x | = | 27 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | 27 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 9 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 9 |
