(x-1)(x-14)=0

Solution for (x-1)(x-14)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + -14) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + -14) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-14 + x) = 0

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-14 + x)
(-1(-14 + x) + x(-14 + x)) = 0
((-14 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-14 + x)) = 0
((14 + -1x) + x(-14 + x)) = 0
(14 + -1x + (-14 * x + x * x)) = 0
(14 + -1x + (-14x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + -14x = -15x
(14 + -15x + x2) = 0

Solving
14 + -15x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
