| ( | 2 | − | x | ) | ( | 150 | + | 300 | x | ) | = | 450 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | ( | 150 | + | 300 | x | ) | − | x | ( | 150 | + | 300 | x | ) |
| = | 2 | × | 150 | + | 2 | × | 300 | x | − | x | ( | 150 | + | 300 | x | ) |
| = | 300 | + | 600 | x | − | x | ( | 150 | + | 300 | x | ) |
| = | 300 | + | 600 | x | − | x | × | 150 | − | x | × | 300 | x |
| = | 300 | + | 450 | x | − | x | × | 300 | x |
| 300 | + | 450 | x | − | x | × | 300 | x | = | 450 |
