| ( | 2 | + | 2 | x | ) | ( | 2 | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 1024 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | ( | 2 | x | − | 2 | ) | + | 2 | x | ( | 2 | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | 2 | × | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 2 | + | 2 | x | ( | 2 | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | − | 4 | + | 2 | x | ( | 2 | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | − | 4 | + | 2 | x | × | 2 | x | − | 2 | x | × | 2 |
| = | 4 | x | − | 4 | + | 4 | x | x | − | 4 | x |
| = | 0 | x | − | 4 | + | 4 | x | x |
| 0 | x | − | 4 | + | 4 | x | x | = | 1024 |
