| 3 | − | 2 | ( | c | − | 3 | ) | = | 3 | ( | 2 | c | − | 5 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | − | 2 | c | + | 2 | × | 3 |
| = | 3 | − | 2 | c | + | 6 |
| = | 9 | − | 2 | c |
| 9 | − | 2 | c | = | 3 | ( | 2 | c | − | 5 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 2 | c | − | 3 | × | 5 |
| = | 6 | c | − | 15 |
| 9 | − | 2 | c | = | 6 | c | − | 15 |
| - | 2 | c | − | 6 | c | = | - | 15 | − | 9 |
| - | 8 | c | = | - | 15 | − | 9 |
| - | 8 | c | = | - | 24 |
| 24 | = | 8 | c |
| 8 | c | = | 24 |
| c | = | 24 | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 24 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 3 | × | 1 |
| c | = | 3 |
