| 4 | ( | 3 | − | ( | x | + | 6 | ) | ) | = | - | 14 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | × | 3 | − | 4 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) |
| = | 12 | − | 4 | ( | x | + | 6 | ) |
| = | 12 | − | 4 | x | − | 4 | × | 6 |
| = | 12 | − | 4 | x | − | 24 |
| = | - | 12 | − | 4 | x |
| - | 12 | − | 4 | x | = | - | 14 |
| - | 4 | x | = | - | 14 | + | 12 |
| - | 4 | x | = | - | 2 |
| 2 | = | 4 | x |
| 4 | x | = | 2 |
| x | = | 2 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 2 |
| x | = | 0.5 |
