| Left side of the equation = | 35 2 | − | x | − | 20 | × | 3 20 | + | x | × | 3 20 | + | 5 2 | × | 3 20 |
| = | 35 2 | − | x | − | 3 | + | x | × | 3 20 | + | 3 8 |
| = | 119 8 | − | 17 20 | x |
119 8 | − | 17 20 | x | = | 77 10 |
| - | 17 20 | x | = | 77 10 | − | 119 8 |
| - | 17 20 | x | = | - | 287 40 |
