| 24 | − | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 32 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 5 | ( | 32 | − | x | ) |
| 24 | − | x | = | 3 5 | ( | 32 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 5 | × | 32 | − | 3 5 | x |
| = | 96 5 | − | 3 5 | x |
| 24 | − | x | = | 96 5 | − | 3 5 | x |
| - | x | + | 3 5 | x | = | 96 5 | − | 24 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | 96 5 | − | 24 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 24 5 |
24 5 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 24 5 |
| x | = | 24 5 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 24 5 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 12 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 12 |
