(x-7)(x-2)=

Solution for (x-7)(x-2)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -7)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + x)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + x)(-2 + x) = 0

Multiply (-7 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-7(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((-2 * -7 + x * -7) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((14 + -7x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
(14 + -7x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 0
(14 + -7x + (-2x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -7x + -2x = -9x
(14 + -9x + x2) = 0

Solving
14 + -9x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
