| 3 | ( | 32 | + | X | ) | − | 4 | ( | 32 | − | X | ) | = | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | × | 32 | + | 3 | X | − | 4 | ( | 32 | − | X | ) |
| = | 96 | + | 3 | X | − | 4 | ( | 32 | − | X | ) |
| = | 96 | + | 3 | X | − | 4 | × | 32 | + | 4 | X |
| = | 96 | + | 3 | X | − | 128 | + | 4 | X |
| = | - | 32 | + | 7 | X |
| - | 32 | + | 7 | X | = | 10 |
| 7 | X | = | 10 | + | 32 |
| 7 | X | = | 42 |
| X | = | 42 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | 42 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 6 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 6 |
