| 50 | x | + | 15 | = | ( | 50 | + | 5 | ) | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 50 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 5 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 50 | x | − | 50 | × | 1 | + | 5 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 50 | x | − | 50 | + | 5 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 50 | x | − | 50 | + | 5 | x | − | 5 | × | 1 |
| = | 50 | x | − | 50 | + | 5 | x | − | 5 |
| = | 55 | x | − | 55 |
| 50 | x | + | 15 | = | 55 | x | − | 55 |
| 50 | x | − | 55 | x | = | - | 55 | − | 15 |
| - | 5 | x | = | - | 55 | − | 15 |
| - | 5 | x | = | - | 70 |
| 70 | = | 5 | x |
| 5 | x | = | 70 |
| x | = | 70 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 70 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 14 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 14 |
