| ( | 15 | + | 2 | x | ) | ( | 10 | + | 2 | x | ) | = | 15 | × | 10 | × | 5 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 15 | ( | 10 | + | 2 | x | ) | + | 2 | x | ( | 10 | + | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 15 | × | 10 | + | 15 | × | 2 | x | + | 2 | x | ( | 10 | + | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 150 | + | 30 | x | + | 2 | x | ( | 10 | + | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 150 | + | 30 | x | + | 2 | x | × | 10 | + | 2 | x | × | 2 | x |
| = | 150 | + | 30 | x | + | 20 | x | + | 4 | x | x |
| = | 150 | + | 50 | x | + | 4 | x | x |
| 150 | + | 50 | x | + | 4 | x | x | = | 15 | × | 10 | × | 5 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 250 |
| 150 | + | 50 | x | + | 4 | x | x | = | 250 |
