| X | × | 2 | + | 9 5 | × | 10 | − | 4 | X | = | 9 10 | × | 10 | − | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | X | × | 2 | + | 18 | − | 4 | X |
| = | - | 2 | X | + | 18 |
| - | 2 | X | + | 18 | = | 9 10 | × | 10 | − | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 | − | 5 |
| = | 4 |
| - | 2 | X | + | 18 | = | 4 |
| - | 2 | X | = | 4 | − | 18 |
| - | 2 | X | = | - | 14 |
| 14 | = | 2 | X |
| 2 | X | = | 14 |
| X | = | 14 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 14 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 7 |
