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


Simplifying
(m + 2)(m + -4) = 0

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

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

Multiply (2 + m) * (-4 + m)
(2(-4 + m) + m(-4 + m)) = 0
((-4 * 2 + m * 2) + m(-4 + m)) = 0
((-8 + 2m) + m(-4 + m)) = 0
(-8 + 2m + (-4 * m + m * m)) = 0
(-8 + 2m + (-4m + m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2m + -4m = -2m
(-8 + -2m + m2) = 0

Solving
-8 + -2m + m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Factor a trinomial.
