| ( | 2 | x | − | 6 | ) | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) | − | 6 | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 2 | x | × | 8 | − | 2 | x | × | 2 | x | − | 6 | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 16 | x | − | 4 | x | x | − | 6 | ( | 8 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| = | 16 | x | − | 4 | x | x | − | 6 | × | 8 | + | 6 | × | 2 | x |
| = | 16 | x | − | 4 | x | x | − | 48 | + | 12 | x |
| = | 28 | x | − | 4 | x | x | − | 48 |
| 28 | x | − | 4 | x | x | − | 48 | = | 0 |
