| 2 | ( | x | + | 5 | + | 96 5 | ) | = | 50 | + | 66 | + | 220 | − | 2 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 5 | + | 2 | × | 96 5 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 10 | + | 192 5 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 242 5 |
| 2 | x | + | 242 5 | = | 50 | + | 66 | + | 220 | − | 2 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 336 | − | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | + | 242 5 | = | 336 | − | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | + | 2 | x | = | 336 | − | 242 5 |
| 4 | x | = | 336 | − | 242 5 |
| 4 | x | = | 1438 5 |
| x | = | 1438 5 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 1438 5 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 719 5 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 719 10 |
| x | = | 71.9 |
