| - | 4 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | = | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 4 | x | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | − | 4 | × | 3 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 4 | x | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | − | 12 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 4 | x | x | + | 4 | x | × | 2 | − | 12 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 4 | x | x | + | 8 | x | − | 12 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| = | - | 4 | x | x | + | 8 | x | − | 12 | x | + | 12 | × | 2 |
| = | - | 4 | x | x | + | 8 | x | − | 12 | x | + | 24 |
| = | - | 4 | x | x | − | 4 | x | + | 24 |
| - | 4 | x | x | − | 4 | x | + | 24 | = | 8 |
