| ( | x | − | 6 | ) | ÷ | 31 | = | ( | x | ÷ | 31 | ) | × | 13 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 31 | − | 6 | × | 1 31 |
| = | x | × | 1 31 | − | 6 31 |
1 31 | x | − | 6 31 | = | ( | x | ÷ | 31 | ) | × | 13 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | ÷ | 31 | × | 13 10 |
| = | x | × | 13 310 |
1 31 | x | − | 6 31 | = | 13 310 | x |
1 31 | x | − | 13 310 | x | = | 6 31 |
| - | 3 310 | x | = | 6 31 |
| - | 6 31 | = | 3 310 | x |
3 310 | x | = | - | 6 31 |
| x | = | - | 6 31 | ÷ | 3 310 |
| = | - | 6 31 | × | 310 3 |
| = | - | 2 | × | 10 |
