Solution for (a-2)(b+2)=ab equation:


Simplifying
(a + -2)(b + 2) = ab

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + a)(b + 2) = ab

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + a)(2 + b) = ab

Multiply (-2 + a) * (2 + b)
(-2(2 + b) + a(2 + b)) = ab
((2 * -2 + b * -2) + a(2 + b)) = ab
((-4 + -2b) + a(2 + b)) = ab
(-4 + -2b + (2 * a + b * a)) = ab
(-4 + -2b + (2a + ab)) = ab
