| ( | 15 | − | 2 | X | ) | ( | 8 | − | 2 | X | ) | = | 15 | × | 8 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 15 | ( | 8 | − | 2 | X | ) | − | 2 | X | ( | 8 | − | 2 | X | ) |
| = | 15 | × | 8 | − | 15 | × | 2 | X | − | 2 | X | ( | 8 | − | 2 | X | ) |
| = | 120 | − | 30 | X | − | 2 | X | ( | 8 | − | 2 | X | ) |
| = | 120 | − | 30 | X | − | 2 | X | × | 8 | + | 2 | X | × | 2 | X |
| = | 120 | − | 30 | X | − | 16 | X | + | 4 | X | X |
| = | 120 | − | 46 | X | + | 4 | X | X |
| 120 | − | 46 | X | + | 4 | X | X | = | 15 | × | 8 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 60 |
| 120 | − | 46 | X | + | 4 | X | X | = | 60 |
