(2+x)(x-3)=24

Solution for (2+x)(x-3)=24 equation:

Simplifying
(2 + x)(x + -3) = 24

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(-3 + x) = 24

Multiply (2 + x) * (-3 + x)
(2(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x)) = 24
((-3 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-3 + x)) = 24
((-6 + 2x) + x(-3 + x)) = 24
(-6 + 2x + (-3 * x + x * x)) = 24
(-6 + 2x + (-3x + x2)) = 24

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
(-6 + -1x + x2) = 24

Solving
-6 + -1x + x2 = 24

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + -24 + -1x + x2 = 24 + -24

Combine like terms: -6 + -24 = -30
-30 + -1x + x2 = 24 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
-30 + -1x + x2 = 0
