(x-8)(x-2)=

Solution for (x-8)(x-2)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -8)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + x)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + x)(-2 + x) = 0

Multiply (-8 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-8(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((-2 * -8 + x * -8) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
((16 + -8x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
(16 + -8x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 0
(16 + -8x + (-2x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -8x + -2x = -10x
(16 + -10x + x2) = 0

Solving
16 + -10x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
