Simplifying
(2x + -3)(x + 4) = -12

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + 2x)(x + 4) = -12

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + 2x)(4 + x) = -12

Multiply (-3 + 2x) * (4 + x)
(-3(4 + x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = -12
((4 * -3 + x * -3) + 2x * (4 + x)) = -12
((-12 + -3x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = -12
(-12 + -3x + (4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = -12
(-12 + -3x + (8x + 2x2)) = -12

Combine like terms: -3x + 8x = 5x
(-12 + 5x + 2x2) = -12
