Solution for (3x+1)(x-4)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(3x + 1)(x + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 3x)(x + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 3x)(-4 + x) = 0

Multiply (1 + 3x) * (-4 + x)
(1(-4 + x) + 3x * (-4 + x)) = 0
((-4 * 1 + x * 1) + 3x * (-4 + x)) = 0
((-4 + 1x) + 3x * (-4 + x)) = 0
(-4 + 1x + (-4 * 3x + x * 3x)) = 0
(-4 + 1x + (-12x + 3x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1x + -12x = -11x
(-4 + -11x + 3x2) = 0
