| 12445 | = | 130 | x | + | 50 | ( | 151 | − | x | ) | − | 225 |
| Right side of the equation = | 130 | x | + | 50 | × | 151 | − | 50 | x | − | 225 |
| = | 130 | x | + | 7550 | − | 50 | x | − | 225 |
| = | 80 | x | + | 7325 |
| 12445 | = | 80 | x | + | 7325 |
| - | 80 | x | = | 7325 | − | 12445 |
| - | 80 | x | = | - | 5120 |
| 5120 | = | 80 | x |
| 80 | x | = | 5120 |
| x | = | 5120 | ÷ | 80 |
| = | 5120 | × | 1 80 |
| = | 64 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 64 |
