| ( | 14 | − | 2 | y | ) | ( | 16 | − | y | ) | = | 180 |
| Left side of the equation = | 14 | ( | 16 | − | y | ) | − | 2 | y | ( | 16 | − | y | ) |
| = | 14 | × | 16 | − | 14 | y | − | 2 | y | ( | 16 | − | y | ) |
| = | 224 | − | 14 | y | − | 2 | y | ( | 16 | − | y | ) |
| = | 224 | − | 14 | y | − | 2 | y | × | 16 | + | 2 | y | y |
| = | 224 | − | 14 | y | − | 32 | y | + | 2 | y | y |
| = | 224 | − | 46 | y | + | 2 | y | y |
| 224 | − | 46 | y | + | 2 | y | y | = | 180 |
