| 2 | − | 3 | ( | t | − | 4 | ) | = | - | 2 | − | 2 | ( | t | − | 4 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | − | 3 | t | + | 3 | × | 4 |
| = | 2 | − | 3 | t | + | 12 |
| = | 14 | − | 3 | t |
| 14 | − | 3 | t | = | - | 2 | − | 2 | ( | t | − | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 2 | − | 2 | t | + | 2 | × | 4 |
| = | - | 2 | − | 2 | t | + | 8 |
| = | 6 | − | 2 | t |
| 14 | − | 3 | t | = | 6 | − | 2 | t |
| - | 3 | t | + | 2 | t | = | 6 | − | 14 |
| - | t | = | 6 | − | 14 |
| - | t | = | 6 | − | 14 |
| - | t | = | - | 8 |
| 8 | = | t |
| t | = | 8 |
