The solution

You have entered [src]
128*(48 - x) + 128*(48 + x) = 6*(48 - x)*(48 + x)
$$128 \left(48 - x\right) + 128 \left(x + 48\right) = 6 \left(48 - x\right) \left(x + 48\right)$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$128 \left(48 - x\right) + 128 \left(x + 48\right) = 6 \left(48 - x\right) \left(x + 48\right)$$
to
$$- 6 \left(48 - x\right) \left(x + 48\right) + \left(128 \left(48 - x\right) + 128 \left(x + 48\right)\right) = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$- 6 \left(48 - x\right) \left(x + 48\right) + \left(128 \left(48 - x\right) + 128 \left(x + 48\right)\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$6 x^{2} - 1536 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 6$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = -1536$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (6) * (-1536) = 36864

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 16$$
$$x_{2} = -16$$
