(x-4)(x+4)=

Solution for (x-4)(x+4)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -4)(x + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + x)(x + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + x)(4 + x) = 0

Multiply (-4 + x) * (4 + x)
(-4(4 + x) + x(4 + x)) = 0
((4 * -4 + x * -4) + x(4 + x)) = 0
((-16 + -4x) + x(4 + x)) = 0
(-16 + -4x + (4 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-16 + -4x + (4x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
(-16 + 0 + x2) = 0
(-16 + x2) = 0

Solving
-16 + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
