| 4 | x | − | 3 | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | = | 5 | x | − | 7 | ( | 20 | − | x | ) |
| 方程左边 = | 4 | x | − | 3 | × | 20 | + | 3 | x |
| = | 4 | x | − | 60 | + | 3 | x |
| = | 7 | x | − | 60 |
| 7 | x | − | 60 | = | 5 | x | − | 7 | ( | 20 | − | x | ) |
| 方程右边 = | 5 | x | − | 7 | × | 20 | + | 7 | x |
| = | 5 | x | − | 140 | + | 7 | x |
| = | 12 | x | − | 140 |
| 7 | x | − | 60 | = | 12 | x | − | 140 |
| 7 | x | − | 12 | x | = | - | 140 | + | 60 |
| - | 5 | x | = | - | 140 | + | 60 |
| - | 5 | x | = | - | 80 |
| 80 | = | 5 | x |
| 5 | x | = | 80 |
| x | = | 80 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 80 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 16 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 16 |
