| 5 | ( | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 2 | ( | 2 | x | + | 11 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 3 | x | − | 5 | × | 2 |
| = | 15 | x | − | 10 |
| 15 | x | − | 10 | = | 2 | ( | 2 | x | + | 11 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 11 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 22 |
| 15 | x | − | 10 | = | 4 | x | + | 22 |
| 15 | x | − | 4 | x | = | 22 | + | 10 |
| 11 | x | = | 22 | + | 10 |
| 11 | x | = | 32 |
| x | = | 32 | ÷ | 11 |
| = | 32 | × | 1 11 |
| x | = | 32 11 |
| x | = | 2.909091 |
