( | 18 | − | 3 | x | ) | ( | 6 | − | 2 | x | ) | = | 60 |
Left side of the equation = | 18 | ( | 6 | − | 2 | x | ) | − | 3 | x | ( | 6 | − | 2 | x | ) |
= | 18 | × | 6 | − | 18 | × | 2 | x | − | 3 | x | ( | 6 | − | 2 | x | ) |
= | 108 | − | 36 | x | − | 3 | x | ( | 6 | − | 2 | x | ) |
= | 108 | − | 36 | x | − | 3 | x | × | 6 | + | 3 | x | × | 2 | x |
= | 108 | − | 36 | x | − | 18 | x | + | 6 | x | x |
= | 108 | − | 54 | x | + | 6 | x | x |
108 | − | 54 | x | + | 6 | x | x | = | 60 |
