| - | 9 | − | 2 | x | + | 2 | = | 3 | x | − | 3 | + | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 7 | − | 2 | x |
| - | 7 | − | 2 | x | = | 3 | x | − | 3 | + | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 3 |
| - | 7 | − | 2 | x | = | 3 | x | + | 3 |
| - | 2 | x | − | 3 | x | = | 3 | + | 7 |
| - | 5 | x | = | 3 | + | 7 |
| - | 5 | x | = | 10 |
| - | 10 | = | 5 | x |
| 5 | x | = | - | 10 |
| x | = | - | 10 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | - | 10 | × | 1 5 |
| = | - | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 2 |
