| ( | x | − | 2023 | ) | ( | x | − | 2024 | ) | = | 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ( | x | − | 2024 | ) | − | 2023 | ( | x | − | 2024 | ) |
| = | x | x | − | x | × | 2024 | − | 2023 | ( | x | − | 2024 | ) |
| = | x | x | − | 2024 | x | − | 2023 | x | + | 2023 | × | 2024 |
| = | x | x | − | 2024 | x | − | 2023 | x | + | 4094552 |
| = | x | x | − | 4047 | x | + | 4094552 |
| x | x | − | 4047 | x | + | 4094552 | = | 100 |
