| 2 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 11 | × | 7 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 2 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 4 |
| 2 | x | − | 4 | = | 3 | ( | x | − | 11 | × | 7 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 11 | × | 7 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 231 |
| 2 | x | − | 4 | = | 3 | x | − | 231 |
| 2 | x | − | 3 | x | = | - | 231 | + | 4 |
| - | x | = | - | 231 | + | 4 |
| - | x | = | - | 231 | + | 4 |
| - | x | = | - | 227 |
| 227 | = | x |
| x | = | 227 |
