| 9 | − | 6 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | = | - | 10 | x | − | ( | 7 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 | − | 6 | x | − | 6 | × | 3 |
| = | 9 | − | 6 | x | − | 18 |
| = | - | 9 | − | 6 | x |
| - | 9 | − | 6 | x | = | - | 10 | x | − | ( | 7 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 10 | x | − | 7 | − | x |
| = | - | 11 | x | − | 7 |
| - | 9 | − | 6 | x | = | - | 11 | x | − | 7 |
| - | 6 | x | + | 11 | x | = | - | 7 | + | 9 |
| 5 | x | = | - | 7 | + | 9 |
| 5 | x | = | 2 |
| x | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 2 5 |
| x | = | 0.4 |
