Simplifying
(7 + -1x)(x + 2) = 4

Reorder the terms:
(7 + -1x)(2 + x) = 4

Multiply (7 + -1x) * (2 + x)
(7(2 + x) + -1x * (2 + x)) = 4
((2 * 7 + x * 7) + -1x * (2 + x)) = 4
((14 + 7x) + -1x * (2 + x)) = 4
(14 + 7x + (2 * -1x + x * -1x)) = 4
(14 + 7x + (-2x + -1x2)) = 4

Combine like terms: 7x + -2x = 5x
(14 + 5x + -1x2) = 4

Solving
14 + 5x + -1x2 = 4

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
