Solution for (2x-8)(x-8)=x(x-8) equation: 


Simplifying
(2x + -8)(x + -8) = x(x + -8)

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + 2x)(x + -8) = x(x + -8)

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + 2x)(-8 + x) = x(x + -8)

Multiply (-8 + 2x) * (-8 + x)
(-8(-8 + x) + 2x * (-8 + x)) = x(x + -8)
((-8 * -8 + x * -8) + 2x * (-8 + x)) = x(x + -8)
((64 + -8x) + 2x * (-8 + x)) = x(x + -8)
(64 + -8x + (-8 * 2x + x * 2x)) = x(x + -8)
(64 + -8x + (-16x + 2x2)) = x(x + -8)

Combine like terms: -8x + -16x = -24x
(64 + -24x + 2x2) = x(x + -8)
