| Left side of the equation = | 9 2 | × | 6 | − | 9 2 | M | − | 243 4 |
| = | 27 | − | 9 2 | M | − | 243 4 |
| = | - | 135 4 | − | 9 2 | M |
| - | 135 4 | − | 9 2 | M | = | 1 2 | × | 99 | ÷ | 8 |
| Right side of the equation = | 99 16 |
| - | 135 4 | − | 9 2 | M | = | 99 16 |
| - | 9 2 | M | = | 99 16 | + | 135 4 |
| - | 9 2 | M | = | 639 16 |
| - | 639 16 | = | 9 2 | M |
9 2 | M | = | - | 639 16 |
| M | = | - | 639 16 | ÷ | 9 2 |
| = | - | 639 16 | × | 2 9 |
| = | - | 71 8 | × | 1 |
