| 2 | ( | x | + | 11 2 | ) | = | 4 | ( | 1 | + | 3 | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 11 2 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 11 |
| 2 | x | + | 11 | = | 4 | ( | 1 | + | 3 | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | × | 1 | + | 4 | × | 3 | x |
| = | 4 | + | 12 | x |
| 2 | x | + | 11 | = | 4 | + | 12 | x |
| 2 | x | − | 12 | x | = | 4 | − | 11 |
| - | 10 | x | = | 4 | − | 11 |
| - | 10 | x | = | - | 7 |
| 7 | = | 10 | x |
| 10 | x | = | 7 |
| x | = | 7 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 10 |
| x | = | 7 10 |
| x | = | 0.7 |
