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


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

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

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

Multiply (-2 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-2(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + -2)(12)(12)
((-2 * -2 + x * -2) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + -2)(12)(12)
((4 + -2x) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + -2)(12)(12)
(4 + -2x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = (x + -2)(12)(12)
(4 + -2x + (-2x + x2)) = (x + -2)(12)(12)

Combine like terms: -2x + -2x = -4x
(4 + -4x + x2) = (x + -2)(12)(12)

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4x + x2 = (-2 + x)(12)(12)
