(4-x)(2x+1)=0

Solution for (4-x)(2x+1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(4 + -1x)(2x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + -1x)(1 + 2x) = 0

Multiply (4 + -1x) * (1 + 2x)
(4(1 + 2x) + -1x * (1 + 2x)) = 0
((1 * 4 + 2x * 4) + -1x * (1 + 2x)) = 0
((4 + 8x) + -1x * (1 + 2x)) = 0
(4 + 8x + (1 * -1x + 2x * -1x)) = 0
(4 + 8x + (-1x + -2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x
(4 + 7x + -2x2) = 0

Solving
4 + 7x + -2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
