| ( | 34 | − | 2 | x | ) | ( | 22 | − | x | ) | = | 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 34 | ( | 22 | − | x | ) | − | 2 | x | ( | 22 | − | x | ) |
| = | 34 | × | 22 | − | 34 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 22 | − | x | ) |
| = | 748 | − | 34 | x | − | 2 | x | ( | 22 | − | x | ) |
| = | 748 | − | 34 | x | − | 2 | x | × | 22 | + | 2 | x | x |
| = | 748 | − | 34 | x | − | 44 | x | + | 2 | x | x |
| = | 748 | − | 78 | x | + | 2 | x | x |
| 748 | − | 78 | x | + | 2 | x | x | = | 100 |
