Solution for (2x+1)(x-4)=2(1-x)(5-x) equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + -4) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + -4) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(-4 + x) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-4 + x)
(1(-4 + x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)
((-4 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)
((-4 + 1x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)
(-4 + 1x + (-4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)
(-4 + 1x + (-8x + 2x2)) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)

Combine like terms: 1x + -8x = -7x
(-4 + -7x + 2x2) = 2(1 + -1x)(5 + -1x)

Multiply (1 + -1x) * (5 + -1x)
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = 2(1(5 + -1x) + -1x * (5 + -1x))
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = 2((5 * 1 + -1x * 1) + -1x * (5 + -1x))
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = 2((5 + -1x) + -1x * (5 + -1x))
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = 2(5 + -1x + (5 * -1x + -1x * -1x))
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = 2(5 + -1x + (-5x + 1x2))

Combine like terms: -1x + -5x = -6x
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = 2(5 + -6x + 1x2)
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = (5 * 2 + -6x * 2 + 1x2 * 2)
-4 + -7x + 2x2 = (10 + -12x + 2x2)

Add '-2x2' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -7x + 2x2 + -2x2 = 10 + -12x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
-4 + -7x + 0 = 10 + -12x + 2x2 + -2x2
-4 + -7x = 10 + -12x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
-4 + -7x = 10 + -12x + 0
-4 + -7x = 10 + -12x
