| 22 | ( | x | − | 1160 | ) | = | 17 | ( | x | − | 1100 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 22 | x | − | 22 | × | 1160 |
| = | 22 | x | − | 25520 |
| 22 | x | − | 25520 | = | 17 | ( | x | − | 1100 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 17 | x | − | 17 | × | 1100 |
| = | 17 | x | − | 18700 |
| 22 | x | − | 25520 | = | 17 | x | − | 18700 |
| 22 | x | − | 17 | x | = | - | 18700 | + | 25520 |
| 5 | x | = | - | 18700 | + | 25520 |
| 5 | x | = | 6820 |
| x | = | 6820 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 6820 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 1364 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1364 |
