Solution for 150=(20-x)(12-x) equation:


Simplifying
150 = (20 + -1x)(12 + -1x)

Multiply (20 + -1x) * (12 + -1x)
150 = (20(12 + -1x) + -1x * (12 + -1x))
150 = ((12 * 20 + -1x * 20) + -1x * (12 + -1x))
150 = ((240 + -20x) + -1x * (12 + -1x))
150 = (240 + -20x + (12 * -1x + -1x * -1x))
150 = (240 + -20x + (-12x + 1x2))

Combine like terms: -20x + -12x = -32x
150 = (240 + -32x + 1x2)

Solving
150 = 240 + -32x + 1x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 150 + -240 = -90
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = 240 + -32x + 1x2 + -240 + 32x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = 240 + -240 + -32x + 32x + 1x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 240 + -240 = 0
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = 0 + -32x + 32x + 1x2 + -1x2
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = -32x + 32x + 1x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -32x + 32x = 0
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = 0 + 1x2 + -1x2
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = 1x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 1x2 + -1x2 = 0
-90 + 32x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
90 + -32x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-90' to each side of the equation.
90 + -32x + -90 + x2 = 0 + -90

Reorder the terms:
90 + -90 + -32x + x2 = 0 + -90

Combine like terms: 90 + -90 = 0
0 + -32x + x2 = 0 + -90
-32x + x2 = 0 + -90

Combine like terms: 0 + -90 = -90
-32x + x2 = -90

The x term is -32x.  Take half its coefficient (-16).
Square it (256) and add it to both sides.

Add '256' to each side of the equation.
-32x + 256 + x2 = -90 + 256

Reorder the terms:
256 + -32x + x2 = -90 + 256

Combine like terms: -90 + 256 = 166
256 + -32x + x2 = 166

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -16)(x + -16) = 166
