| Left side of the equation = | 4 | × | 2 | x | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | − | 4 | × | 8 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| = | 8 | x | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | − | 32 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| = | 8 | x | x | − | 8 | x | × | 8 | − | 32 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| = | 8 | x | x | − | 64 | x | − | 32 | ( | x | − | 8 | ) |
| = | 8 | x | x | − | 64 | x | − | 32 | x | + | 32 | × | 8 |
| = | 8 | x | x | − | 64 | x | − | 32 | x | + | 256 |
| = | 8 | x | x | − | 96 | x | + | 256 |
| 8 | x | x | − | 96 | x | + | 256 | = | 1536 |
