| Left side of the equation = | 800 | × | 8 | + | x | × | 8 | + | ( | 300 | + | 100 | ) | × | 24 |
| = | 6400 | + | x | × | 8 | + | ( | 300 | + | 100 | ) | × | 24 |
| = | 6400 | + | 8 | x | + | 300 | × | 24 | + | 100 | × | 24 |
| = | 6400 | + | 8 | x | + | 7200 | + | 2400 |
| = | 16000 | + | 8 | x |
| 16000 | + | 8 | x | = | 24000 |
