| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 16 | − | 5 | X | + | 190 | + | 10 | X |
| = | 80 | − | 5 | X | + | 190 | + | 10 | X |
| = | 270 | + | 5 | X |
| 270 | + | 5 | X | = | 20 | × | 16 |
| Right side of the equation = | 320 |
| 270 | + | 5 | X | = | 320 |
| 5 | X | = | 320 | − | 270 |
| 5 | X | = | 50 |
