ANSWER:
( x - 18 ) ( x + 2 ) + 48 = 0
An equation which has the same solution as the given equation is:
( x - 18 ) ( x + 2 ) + 48 = 0
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
x^2 - 16x + 12 = 0
[ x^2 - 16x - 36 ] + 48 = 0
[ x^2 - 18x + 2x - 36 ] + 48 = 0
[ x ( x - 18 ) + 2 ( x - 18 ) ] + 48 = 0
( x - 18 ) ( x + 2 ) + 48 = 0
