(x-1)(x-2)=0

Solution for (x-1)(x-2)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-2 + x) = 0

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-1(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((-2 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((2 + -1x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
(2 + -1x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 0
(2 + -1x + (-2x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x
(2 + -3x + x2) = 0

Solving
2 + -3x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

0 + -1x = 0 + -2
-1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 2

Simplifying
x = 2
Solution
x = {1, 2}
