Solution for (x-a)(x-b)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(x + -1a)(x + -1b) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1a + x)(x + -1b) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1a + x)(-1b + x) = 0

Multiply (-1a + x) * (-1b + x)
(-1a * (-1b + x) + x(-1b + x)) = 0
((-1b * -1a + x * -1a) + x(-1b + x)) = 0
((1ab + -1ax) + x(-1b + x)) = 0
(1ab + -1ax + (-1b * x + x * x)) = 0
(1ab + -1ax + (-1bx + x2)) = 0
(1ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2) = 0

Solving
1ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'bx' to each side of the equation.
1ab + -1ax + -1bx + bx + x2 = 0 + bx

Combine like terms: -1bx + bx = 0
1ab + -1ax + 0 + x2 = 0 + bx
1ab + -1ax + x2 = 0 + bx
Remove the zero:
1ab + -1ax + x2 = bx

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
1ab + -1ax + x2 + -1x2 = bx + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
1ab + -1ax + 0 = bx + -1x2
1ab + -1ax = bx + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
1ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = bx + -1bx + -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: bx + -1bx = 0
1ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = 0 + -1x2 + x2
1ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + x2 = 0
1ab + -1ax + -1bx + x2 = 0
