| ( | 32 | + | x | ) | × | 3 | − | ( | 32 | − | x | ) | × | 4 | = | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 32 | × | 3 | + | x | × | 3 | − | ( | 32 | − | x | ) | × | 4 |
| = | 96 | + | x | × | 3 | − | ( | 32 | − | x | ) | × | 4 |
| = | 96 | + | 3 | x | − | 32 | × | 4 | + | x | × | 4 |
| = | 96 | + | 3 | x | − | 128 | + | x | × | 4 |
| = | - | 32 | + | 7 | x |
| - | 32 | + | 7 | x | = | 10 |
| 7 | x | = | 10 | + | 32 |
| 7 | x | = | 42 |
| x | = | 42 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | 42 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 6 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 6 |
