| ( | 76 | + | x | ) | × | 5 | = | ( | 76 | − | x | − | 10 | ) | × | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 76 | × | 5 | + | x | × | 5 |
| = | 380 | + | x | × | 5 |
| 380 | + | 5 | x | = | ( | 76 | − | x | − | 10 | ) | × | 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 76 | × | 10 | − | x | × | 10 | − | 10 | × | 10 |
| = | 760 | − | x | × | 10 | − | 100 |
| = | 660 | − | 10 | x |
| 380 | + | 5 | x | = | 660 | − | 10 | x |
| 5 | x | + | 10 | x | = | 660 | − | 380 |
| 15 | x | = | 660 | − | 380 |
| 15 | x | = | 280 |
| x | = | 280 | ÷ | 15 |
| = | 280 | × | 1 15 |
| = | 56 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 56 3 |
