| 600 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 384 |
| Left side of the equation = | 600 | × | 1 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | − | 600 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 600 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | − | 600 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 600 | × | 1 | − | 600 | x | − | 600 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 600 | − | 600 | x | − | 600 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 600 | − | 600 | x | − | 600 | x | × | 1 | + | 600 | x | x |
| = | 600 | − | 600 | x | − | 600 | x | + | 600 | x | x |
| = | 600 | − | 1200 | x | + | 600 | x | x |
| 600 | − | 1200 | x | + | 600 | x | x | = | 384 |
