Area of rectangles = width * length.
So x*12 = 12x = area of first rectangle
So 16*(x-2) = 16x -32 = area of second rectangle
The question states to make them equal, so:
first rectangle = second rectangle
12x = 16x -32
Solve for x
-4x = -32
4x = 32
x = 8
Prime factorize the two numbers:
666 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 37
888 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 37
Notice I lined up all the numbers into columns. If they appear for both numbers they are paired. The lowest common multiple is the product of all the unique columns:
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 37 = 2664
You can use this strategy for as many numbers as you want. Also, you could find the greatest common factor by multiplying only the paired columns.

The power 0 only affects the x. x^0 = 1
-2 * 1 = -2
25
Here everything inside the brackets is affected by the 0.
(11abx)^0 = 1 There is nothing left over.

(xy)^0 = 1
(pq)^0 = 1
1 - 1 = 0
