| ( | 15 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | 15 | x | + | 15 | ( | 15 | − | 1 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 15 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 15 2 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 15 2 | x | − | 15 2 | × | 10 |
| = | 15 2 | x | − | 75 |
15 2 | x | − | 75 | = | 15 | x | + | 15 | ( | 15 | − | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 15 | x | + | 15 | × | 15 | − | 15 | × | 1 |
| = | 15 | x | + | 225 | − | 15 |
| = | 15 | x | + | 210 |
15 2 | x | − | 75 | = | 15 | x | + | 210 |
15 2 | x | − | 15 | x | = | 210 | + | 75 |
| - | 15 2 | x | = | 210 | + | 75 |
| - | 15 2 | x | = | 285 |
| - | 285 | = | 15 2 | x |
15 2 | x | = | - | 285 |
