Solution for (x-2)(x-5)=(x-1)(x-3) equation:


Simplifying
(x + -2)(x + -5) = (x + -1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(x + -5) = (x + -1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(-5 + x) = (x + -1)(x + -3)

Multiply (-2 + x) * (-5 + x)
(-2(-5 + x) + x(-5 + x)) = (x + -1)(x + -3)
((-5 * -2 + x * -2) + x(-5 + x)) = (x + -1)(x + -3)
((10 + -2x) + x(-5 + x)) = (x + -1)(x + -3)
(10 + -2x + (-5 * x + x * x)) = (x + -1)(x + -3)
(10 + -2x + (-5x + x2)) = (x + -1)(x + -3)

Combine like terms: -2x + -5x = -7x
(10 + -7x + x2) = (x + -1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
10 + -7x + x2 = (-1 + x)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
10 + -7x + x2 = (-1 + x)(-3 + x)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-3 + x)
10 + -7x + x2 = (-1(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x))
10 + -7x + x2 = ((-3 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-3 + x))
10 + -7x + x2 = ((3 + -1x) + x(-3 + x))
10 + -7x + x2 = (3 + -1x + (-3 * x + x * x))
10 + -7x + x2 = (3 + -1x + (-3x + x2))

Combine like terms: -1x + -3x = -4x
10 + -7x + x2 = (3 + -4x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
10 + -7x + x2 + -1x2 = 3 + -4x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
