| ( | x | − | 200 | ) | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | + | 2022 | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | − | 200 | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | + | 2022 |
| = | x | x | − | x | × | 400 | − | 200 | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | + | 2022 |
| = | x | x | − | 400 | x | − | 200 | x | + | 200 | × | 400 | + | 2022 |
| = | x | x | − | 400 | x | − | 200 | x | + | 80000 | + | 2022 |
| = | x | x | − | 600 | x | + | 82022 |
| x | x | − | 600 | x | + | 82022 | = | 0 |
