Simplifying
(x + 8)(x + -2) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(8 + x)(x + -2) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(8 + x)(-2 + x) = 12

Multiply (8 + x) * (-2 + x)
(8(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 12
((-2 * 8 + x * 8) + x(-2 + x)) = 12
((-16 + 8x) + x(-2 + x)) = 12
(-16 + 8x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 12
(-16 + 8x + (-2x + x2)) = 12
