| ( | x | − | 10 | ) | + | ( | x | + | 10 | ) | + | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 2 | x | = | 270 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | + | ( | x | + | 10 | ) | + | 5 2 | x |

| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 10 | + | ( | x | + | 10 | ) | + | 5 2 | x |
| = | 7 2 | x | − | 10 | + | ( | x | + | 10 | ) |
