1144 + -8x + -2x2 = -64 + 64 + 8x + -8x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -64 + 64 = 0
1144 + -8x + -2x2 = 0 + 8x + -8x + 2x2 + -2x2
1144 + -8x + -2x2 = 8x + -8x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
1144 + -8x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
1144 + -8x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
1144 + -8x + -2x2 = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(22 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
22 + -1x = 0

Solving
22 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-22' to each side of the equation.
22 + -22 + -1x = 0 + -22

Combine like terms: 22 + -22 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -22
-1x = 0 + -22

Combine like terms: 0 + -22 = -22
-1x = -22

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 22

Simplifying
x = 22
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(26 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
26 + x = 0

Solving
26 + x = 0

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

Add '-26' to each side of the equation.
26 + -26 + x = 0 + -26

Combine like terms: 26 + -26 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -26
x = 0 + -26

Combine like terms: 0 + -26 = -26
x = -26

Simplifying
x = -26
Solution
x = {22, -26}
