| Left side of the equation = | 8 | x | + | 6 | ( | 50 | − | 2 | x | − | 2 | − | 4 | ) |
| 8 | x | + | 6 | ( | 50 | − | 2 | x | − | 2 | − | 4 | ) | = | 156 |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 | x | + | 6 | × | 50 | − | 6 | × | 2 | x | − | 6 | × | 2 | − | 6 | × | 4 |
| = | 8 | x | + | 300 | − | 12 | x | − | 12 | − | 24 |
| = | - | 4 | x | + | 264 |
| - | 4 | x | + | 264 | = | 156 |
| - | 4 | x | = | 156 | − | 264 |
| - | 4 | x | = | - | 108 |
| 108 | = | 4 | x |
| 4 | x | = | 108 |
| x | = | 108 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 108 | × | 1 4 |
