| 5998 | x | + | 6070 | × | 4 | = | 6030 | ( | 4 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5998 | x | + | 24280 |
| 5998 | x | + | 24280 | = | 6030 | ( | 4 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 6030 | × | 4 | + | 6030 | x |
| = | 24120 | + | 6030 | x |
| 5998 | x | + | 24280 | = | 24120 | + | 6030 | x |
| 5998 | x | − | 6030 | x | = | 24120 | − | 24280 |
| - | 32 | x | = | 24120 | − | 24280 |
| - | 32 | x | = | - | 160 |
| 160 | = | 32 | x |
| 32 | x | = | 160 |
| x | = | 160 | ÷ | 32 |
| = | 160 | × | 1 32 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 |
