| - | 3 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 3 | x | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | − | 3 | × | 3 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 3 | x | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | − | 9 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 3 | x | x | + | 3 | x | × | 2 | − | 9 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 3 | x | x | + | 6 | x | − | 9 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 3 | x | x | + | 6 | x | − | 9 | x | + | 9 | × | 2 |
| = | - | 3 | x | x | + | 6 | x | − | 9 | x | + | 18 |
| = | - | 3 | x | x | − | 3 | x | + | 18 |
| - | 3 | x | x | − | 3 | x | + | 18 | = | 8 |
