How would you go about simlify this equation?
x^2 = (2x)(x-4)
I got this far
x^2 = 2x(x-4)+2x(x-4)
x^2 = 2x^2 - 8x + 2x^2 - 8x
Now how would you add together the two 2x^2s, would it be 4x^2?
If so, then i came to:
x^2 = 4x^2 -16x
And I'm not sure what to do after that. Thanks for any help in advance.
