| 100 | − | 2 | x | − | 3 | x | = | 4 | x | + | 2 | x | + | 45 |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | − | 5 | x |
| 100 | − | 5 | x | = | 4 | x | + | 2 | x | + | 45 |
| Right side of the equation = | 6 | x | + | 45 |
| 100 | − | 5 | x | = | 6 | x | + | 45 |
| - | 5 | x | − | 6 | x | = | 45 | − | 100 |
| - | 11 | x | = | 45 | − | 100 |
| - | 11 | x | = | - | 55 |
| 55 | = | 11 | x |
| 11 | x | = | 55 |
| x | = | 55 | ÷ | 11 |
| = | 55 | × | 1 11 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 |
