Multibly each term in the first binomial by each term in the second, and combine like terms.
(a-x)(b-x) = ab - ax -bx +x^2 = x^2 - (a+b)x +ab

(a-x) (b-x)
= a(b-x) - x(b-x)
= ab - ax - bx + (x * x)
= ab - ax - bx + x ^2
x ^ 2 means x to the power 2

if your question consists of all letters of alphabet that is (a-x)(b-x)(c-x)..........(z-a) then the answer will be 0 because it has a factor (x-x)=0 and 0 multiplied by anything is 0
