Solution for 16=3(x-1)(x-7) equation:


Simplifying
16 = 3(x + -1)(x + -7)

Reorder the terms:
16 = 3(-1 + x)(x + -7)

Reorder the terms:
16 = 3(-1 + x)(-7 + x)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-7 + x)
16 = 3(-1(-7 + x) + x(-7 + x))
16 = 3((-7 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-7 + x))
16 = 3((7 + -1x) + x(-7 + x))
16 = 3(7 + -1x + (-7 * x + x * x))
16 = 3(7 + -1x + (-7x + x2))

Combine like terms: -1x + -7x = -8x
16 = 3(7 + -8x + x2)
16 = (7 * 3 + -8x * 3 + x2 * 3)
16 = (21 + -24x + 3x2)

Solving
16 = 21 + -24x + 3x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 16 + -21 = -5
-5 + 24x + -3x2 = 21 + -24x + 3x2 + -21 + 24x + -3x2
