Multiply the terms
x(4x−4)×2x2
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
x1+2(4x−4)×2
Add the numbers
x3(4x−4)×2
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2x3(4x−4)
2x3(4x−4)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x3(4x−4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=04x−4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=04x−4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4x−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=4
Divide both sides
44x=44
Divide the numbers
x=44
