Solution for (x-12)*(x+20)=x^2 equation:


Simplifying
(x + -12)(x + 20) = x2

Reorder the terms:
(-12 + x)(x + 20) = x2

Reorder the terms:
(-12 + x)(20 + x) = x2

Multiply (-12 + x) * (20 + x)
(-12(20 + x) + x(20 + x)) = x2
((20 * -12 + x * -12) + x(20 + x)) = x2
((-240 + -12x) + x(20 + x)) = x2
(-240 + -12x + (20 * x + x * x)) = x2
(-240 + -12x + (20x + x2)) = x2

Combine like terms: -12x + 20x = 8x
(-240 + 8x + x2) = x2

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
-240 + 8x + x2 + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2
