(x-12)(x-2)=

Solution for (x-12)(x-2)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -12)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-12 + x)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-12 + x)(-2 + x) = 0

Multiply (-12 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-12(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((-2 * -12 + x * -12) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((24 + -12x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
(24 + -12x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 0
(24 + -12x + (-2x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -12x + -2x = -14x
(24 + -14x + x2) = 0

Solving
24 + -14x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + -1x = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -12
-1x = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
-1x = -12

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 12

Simplifying
x = 12
Solution
x = {2, 12}
