| 2 | ( | 2 | x | + | 76 | ) | = | 3 | ( | 95 | − | 5 | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 76 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 152 |
| 4 | x | + | 152 | = | 3 | ( | 95 | − | 5 | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 95 | − | 3 | × | 5 | x |
| = | 285 | − | 15 | x |
| 4 | x | + | 152 | = | 285 | − | 15 | x |
| 4 | x | + | 15 | x | = | 285 | − | 152 |
| 19 | x | = | 285 | − | 152 |
| 19 | x | = | 133 |
| x | = | 133 | ÷ | 19 |
| = | 133 | × | 1 19 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 7 |
