| 2 | ( | 5 | + | 96 5 | + | x | ) | = | 50 | + | 242 | + | 62 | − | 2 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 5 | + | 2 | × | 96 5 | + | 2 | x |
| = | 10 | + | 192 5 | + | 2 | x |
| = | 242 5 | + | 2 | x |
242 5 | + | 2 | x | = | 50 | + | 242 | + | 62 | − | 2 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 354 | − | 2 | x |
242 5 | + | 2 | x | = | 354 | − | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | + | 2 | x | = | 354 | − | 242 5 |
| 4 | x | = | 354 | − | 242 5 |
| 4 | x | = | 1528 5 |
| x | = | 1528 5 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 1528 5 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 382 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 382 5 |
| x | = | 76.4 |
