| 7 | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | − | 3 | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 4 | ( | 3 | x | + | 2 | ) | − | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 | × | 2 | x | − | 7 | × | 1 | − | 3 | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 14 | x | − | 7 | − | 3 | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) |
| = | 14 | x | − | 7 | − | 3 | × | 4 | x | + | 3 | × | 1 |
| = | 14 | x | − | 7 | − | 12 | x | + | 3 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 4 |
| 2 | x | − | 4 | = | 4 | ( | 3 | x | + | 2 | ) | − | 1 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | × | 3 | x | + | 4 | × | 2 | − | 1 |
| = | 12 | x | + | 8 | − | 1 |
| = | 12 | x | + | 7 |
| 2 | x | − | 4 | = | 12 | x | + | 7 |
| 2 | x | − | 12 | x | = | 7 | + | 4 |
| - | 10 | x | = | 7 | + | 4 |
| - | 10 | x | = | 11 |
| - | 11 | = | 10 | x |
| 10 | x | = | - | 11 |
| x | = | - | 11 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | - | 11 | × | 1 10 |
| x | = | - | 11 10 |
| x | = | - 1.1 |
