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


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

Reorder the terms:
(-1ax + a2) = b(b + -1x)
(-1ax + a2) = b(b + -1x)
-1ax + a2 = (b * b + -1x * b)

Reorder the terms:
-1ax + a2 = (-1bx + b2)
-1ax + a2 = (-1bx + b2)

Solving
-1ax + a2 = -1bx + b2

Solving for variable 'a'.

Reorder the terms:
-1ax + a2 + bx + -1b2 = -1bx + bx + b2 + -1b2

Combine like terms: -1bx + bx = 0
-1ax + a2 + bx + -1b2 = 0 + b2 + -1b2
-1ax + a2 + bx + -1b2 = b2 + -1b2

Combine like terms: b2 + -1b2 = 0
-1ax + a2 + bx + -1b2 = 0
