| 2 | × | 1200 | ( | 22 | − | x | ) | = | 2000 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2400 | ( | 22 | − | x | ) |
| 2400 | ( | 22 | − | x | ) | = | 2000 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2400 | × | 22 | − | 2400 | x |
| = | 52800 | − | 2400 | x |
| 52800 | − | 2400 | x | = | 2000 | x |
| - | 2400 | x | − | 2000 | x | = | - | 52800 |
| - | 4400 | x | = | - | 52800 |
| 52800 | = | 4400 | x |
| 4400 | x | = | 52800 |
| x | = | 52800 | ÷ | 4400 |
| = | 52800 | × | 1 4400 |
| = | 12 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 12 |
