MR-880 / 13a. problem

Simplify the following expression:

2x+2-x22-2x-2-x22

2x+2-x22-2x-2-x22

=2x+12x22-2x-12x22

=2x1·2x2x+12x22-2x1·2x2x-12x22

=22x+12x212-2x-12x212

=22x+1·12x·22-22x-1·12x·22

=22x+12x+12-22x-12x+12

=2·2x+12x+12-2·2x-12x+12

=4x+12x+12-4x-12x+12

=4x+122x+12-4x-122x+12

=16x+2·4x·1+122x+2-16x-2·4x·1+122x+2

=16x+2·22x·1+122x+2-16x-2·22x·1+122x+2

=16x+22x+1·1+122x+2-16x-22x+1·1+122x+2

=16x+22x+1+1-16x+22x+1-122x+2

=22x+1+22x+122x+2

=2·22x+122x+2

=22x+222x+2
