| ( | 2 | x | + | 10 | ) | ( | 2 | x | + | 6 | ) | = | 96 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | ( | 2 | x | + | 6 | ) | + | 10 | ( | 2 | x | + | 6 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | × | 2 | x | + | 2 | x | × | 6 | + | 10 | ( | 2 | x | + | 6 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | x | + | 12 | x | + | 10 | ( | 2 | x | + | 6 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | x | + | 12 | x | + | 10 | × | 2 | x | + | 10 | × | 6 |
| = | 4 | x | x | + | 12 | x | + | 20 | x | + | 60 |
| = | 4 | x | x | + | 32 | x | + | 60 |
| 4 | x | x | + | 32 | x | + | 60 | = | 96 |
