Solution for 0=(x-4)(x-4)-6 equation:


Simplifying
0 = (x + -4)(x + -4) + -6

Reorder the terms:
0 = (-4 + x)(x + -4) + -6

Reorder the terms:
0 = (-4 + x)(-4 + x) + -6

Multiply (-4 + x) * (-4 + x)
0 = (-4(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) + -6
0 = ((-4 * -4 + x * -4) + x(-4 + x)) + -6
0 = ((16 + -4x) + x(-4 + x)) + -6
0 = (16 + -4x + (-4 * x + x * x)) + -6
0 = (16 + -4x + (-4x + x2)) + -6

Combine like terms: -4x + -4x = -8x
0 = (16 + -8x + x2) + -6

Reorder the terms:
0 = 16 + -6 + -8x + x2

Combine like terms: 16 + -6 = 10
0 = 10 + -8x + x2

Solving
0 = 10 + -8x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = 10 + -8x + x2 + -10 + 8x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = 10 + -10 + -8x + 8x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = 0 + -8x + 8x + x2 + -1x2
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = -8x + 8x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -8x + 8x = 0
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-10 + 8x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
10 + -8x + x2 = 0
