We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
(2x+5)(x-4)-((x-4)(-1x+5))=0
We multiply parentheses ..
(+2x^2-8x+5x-20)-((x-4)(-1x+5))=0
We calculate terms in parentheses: -((x-4)(-1x+5)), so:
(x-4)(-1x+5)
We multiply parentheses ..
(-1x^2+5x+4x-20)
We get rid of parentheses
-1x^2+5x+4x-20
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-1x^2+9x-20
Back to the equation:
-(-1x^2+9x-20)
We get rid of parentheses
2x^2+1x^2-8x+5x-9x-20+20=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
3x^2-12x=0
a = 3; b = -12; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·3·0
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-12}{2*3}=\frac{0}{6} =0 $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+12}{2*3}=\frac{24}{6} =4 $
