Solution for (x-1)(x-7)=(x+1)(x-3) equation:


Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + -7) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + -7) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-7 + x) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-7 + x)
(-1(-7 + x) + x(-7 + x)) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
((-7 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-7 + x)) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
((7 + -1x) + x(-7 + x)) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
(7 + -1x + (-7 * x + x * x)) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
(7 + -1x + (-7x + x2)) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Combine like terms: -1x + -7x = -8x
(7 + -8x + x2) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
7 + -8x + x2 = (1 + x)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
7 + -8x + x2 = (1 + x)(-3 + x)

Multiply (1 + x) * (-3 + x)
7 + -8x + x2 = (1(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x))
7 + -8x + x2 = ((-3 * 1 + x * 1) + x(-3 + x))
7 + -8x + x2 = ((-3 + 1x) + x(-3 + x))
7 + -8x + x2 = (-3 + 1x + (-3 * x + x * x))
7 + -8x + x2 = (-3 + 1x + (-3x + x2))

Combine like terms: 1x + -3x = -2x
7 + -8x + x2 = (-3 + -2x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
7 + -8x + x2 + -1x2 = -3 + -2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
7 + -8x + 0 = -3 + -2x + x2 + -1x2
7 + -8x = -3 + -2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
7 + -8x = -3 + -2x + 0
7 + -8x = -3 + -2x

Solving
7 + -8x = -3 + -2x

Solving for variable 'x'.
