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


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

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

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

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

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

Solving
-8 + 2m + m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Factor a trinomial.
