Final answer:

In the given equation, if 'x' is any value from a to z, one of the terms will become zero, making the entire product equals to 0. This is due to the zero product property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest answer to your question is surprisingly straight forward, despite the complex appearance of the equation. Since each term in the equation (a-x), (b-x), (c-x)...(z-x) is subtracted by 'x', and these terms are all multiplied together, if 'x' is any value from a to z, one of the terms will become zero, which will then make the entire expression equals to 0 (due to multiplication). The concept here is the zero product property; if you multiply anything by zero, the answer is simply zero.
