(m-2)(m+6)=0

Solution for (m-2)(m+6)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(m + -2)(m + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + m)(m + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + m)(6 + m) = 0

Multiply (-2 + m) * (6 + m)
(-2(6 + m) + m(6 + m)) = 0
((6 * -2 + m * -2) + m(6 + m)) = 0
((-12 + -2m) + m(6 + m)) = 0
(-12 + -2m + (6 * m + m * m)) = 0
(-12 + -2m + (6m + m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -2m + 6m = 4m
(-12 + 4m + m2) = 0

Solving
-12 + 4m + m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.
