Ophelia was asked whether the following equation is an identity:
2(x-3)(4x-1)=(4x-6)^2-4(6+x)2(xβ3)( 4xβ1)=(4xβ6)

β4(6+x)2, left parenthesis, x, minus, 3, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, 4, x, minus, 1, right parenthesis, equals, left parenthesis, 4, x, minus, 6, right parenthesis, squared, minus, 4, left parenthesis, 6, plus, x, right parenthesis
She performed the following steps:
\begin{aligned} &\phantom{=}2(x-3)(4x-1) \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }1}\quad&=(2x-6)(8x-2) \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }2}\quad&=16x^2-4x-48x+12 \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }3}\quad&=16x^2-48x+36-24-4x \xhookrightarrow{\text{Step }4}\quad&=(4x-6)^2-4(6+x) \end{aligned}
