(x-2)(x-6)=

Solution for (x-2)(x-6)= equation:

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

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

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

Multiply (-2 + x) * (-6 + x)
(-2(-6 + x) + x(-6 + x)) = 0
((-6 * -2 + x * -2) + x(-6 + x)) = 0
((12 + -2x) + x(-6 + x)) = 0
(12 + -2x + (-6 * x + x * x)) = 0
(12 + -2x + (-6x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -2x + -6x = -8x
(12 + -8x + x2) = 0

Solving
12 + -8x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
