(2x-6)(x+4)=0

Solution for (2x-6)(x+4)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(2x + -6)(x + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + 2x)(x + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + 2x)(4 + x) = 0

Multiply (-6 + 2x) * (4 + x)
(-6(4 + x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 0
((4 * -6 + x * -6) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 0
((-24 + -6x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 0
(-24 + -6x + (4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 0
(-24 + -6x + (8x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -6x + 8x = 2x
