Ophelia was asked whether the following equation is an identity:
2(x-3)(4x-1)=(4x-6)^2-4(6+x)2(x−3)(4x−1)=(4x−6)
2
−4(6+x)2, left parenthesis, x, minus, 3, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, 4, x, minus, 1, right parenthesis, equals, left parenthesis, 4, x, minus, 6, right parenthesis, squared, minus, 4, left parenthesis, 6, plus, x, right parenthesis
She performed the following steps:
\begin{aligned} &\phantom{=}2(x-3)(4x-1) \\\\ \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }1}\quad&=(2x-6)(8x-2) \\\\ \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }2}\quad&=16x^2-4x-48x+12 \\\\ \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }3}\quad&=16x^2-48x+36-24-4x \\\\ \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }4}\quad&=(4x-6)^2-4(6+x) \end{aligned}
Step 1


Step 2


Step 3


Step 4




=2(x−3)(4x−1)
=(2x−6)(8x−2)
=16x
2
−4x−48x+12
=16x
2
−48x+36−24−4x
=(4x−6)
2
−4(6+x)


For this reason, Ophelia stated that the equation is a true identity.
