| x | + | 6 | + | x | + | 9 | = | 4 | ( | 2 | x | + | 3 | ) | + | 6 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 15 |
| 2 | x | + | 15 | = | 4 | ( | 2 | x | + | 3 | ) | + | 6 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | ( | 2 | x | + | 3 | ) | + | 3 |
| 2 | x | + | 15 | = | 4 | ( | 2 | x | + | 3 | ) | + | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | × | 2 | x | + | 4 | × | 3 | + | 3 |
| = | 8 | x | + | 12 | + | 3 |
| = | 8 | x | + | 15 |
| 2 | x | + | 15 | = | 8 | x | + | 15 |
| 2 | x | − | 8 | x | = | 15 | − | 15 |
| - | 6 | x | = | 15 | − | 15 |
| - | 6 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 0 | = | 6 | x |
| 6 | x | = | - | 0 |
| x | = | - | 0 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | - | 0 | × | 1 6 |
