| 16 | X | + | 24 | X | ( | 1 | + | 25 100 | ) | ( | X | + | 4 | ) | = | 960 |
| Left side of the equation = | 16 | X | + | 24 | X | × | 1 | ( | X | + | 4 | ) | + | 24 | X | × | 25 100 | ( | X | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 16 | X | + | 24 | X | ( | X | + | 4 | ) | + | 6 | X | ( | X | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 16 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 24 | X | × | 4 | + | 6 | X | ( | X | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 16 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 96 | X | + | 6 | X | ( | X | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 112 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 6 | X | ( | X | + | 4 | ) |
| = | 112 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 6 | X | X | + | 6 | X | × | 4 |
| = | 112 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 6 | X | X | + | 24 | X |
| = | 136 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 6 | X | X |
| 136 | X | + | 24 | X | X | + | 6 | X | X | = | 960 |
