Question
$$8-2\cdot(8-2) = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 8-2\cdot(8-2) &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]8-2\cdot6 &= 0&& \\[1 em]8-12 &= 0&& \\[1 em]-4 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ -4 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
