Solution for (a-x)*(b-x)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(a + -1x)(b + -1x) = 0

Multiply (a + -1x) * (b + -1x)
(a(b + -1x) + -1x * (b + -1x)) = 0
((b * a + -1x * a) + -1x * (b + -1x)) = 0
((ab + -1ax) + -1x * (b + -1x)) = 0
(ab + -1ax + (b * -1x + -1x * -1x)) = 0
(ab + -1ax + (-1bx + 1x2)) = 0
(ab + -1ax + -1bx + 1x2) = 0

Solving
ab + -1ax + -1bx + 1x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'bx' to each side of the equation.
ab + -1ax + -1bx + bx + 1x2 = 0 + bx

Combine like terms: -1bx + bx = 0
ab + -1ax + 0 + 1x2 = 0 + bx
ab + -1ax + 1x2 = 0 + bx
Remove the zero:
ab + -1ax + 1x2 = bx

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
ab + -1ax + 1x2 + -1x2 = bx + -1x2

Combine like terms: 1x2 + -1x2 = 0
ab + -1ax + 0 = bx + -1x2
ab + -1ax = bx + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = bx + -1bx + -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: bx + -1bx = 0
ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = 0 + -1x2 + x2
ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + x2 = 0
ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = 0

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
