| ( | x | + | 2754 | − | 1 | ) | × | 4 | = | ( | x | − | 396 | − | 1 | ) | × | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 4 | + | 2754 | × | 4 | − | 1 | × | 4 |
| = | x | × | 4 | + | 11016 | − | 4 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 11012 |
| 4 | x | + | 11012 | = | ( | x | − | 396 | − | 1 | ) | × | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 5 | − | 396 | × | 5 | − | 1 | × | 5 |
| = | x | × | 5 | − | 1980 | − | 5 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 1985 |
| 4 | x | + | 11012 | = | 5 | x | − | 1985 |
| 4 | x | − | 5 | x | = | - | 1985 | − | 11012 |
