| ( | 521 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 105 | = | ( | 374 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 74 |
| Left side of the equation = | 521 | × | 1 105 | − | x | × | 1 105 |
| = | 521 105 | − | x | × | 1 105 |
521 105 | − | 1 105 | x | = | ( | 374 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 74 |
| Right side of the equation = | 374 | × | 1 74 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 74 |
| = | 187 37 | − | 1 37 | x |
521 105 | − | 1 105 | x | = | 187 37 | − | 1 37 | x |
| - | 1 105 | x | + | 1 37 | x | = | 187 37 | − | 521 105 |
