(n-2)*(n+4)=27

Solution for (n-2)*(n+4)=27 equation:

Simplifying
(n + -2)(n + 4) = 27

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + n)(n + 4) = 27

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + n)(4 + n) = 27

Multiply (-2 + n) * (4 + n)
(-2(4 + n) + n(4 + n)) = 27
((4 * -2 + n * -2) + n(4 + n)) = 27
((-8 + -2n) + n(4 + n)) = 27
(-8 + -2n + (4 * n + n * n)) = 27
(-8 + -2n + (4n + n2)) = 27

Combine like terms: -2n + 4n = 2n
(-8 + 2n + n2) = 27

Solving
-8 + 2n + n2 = 27

Solving for variable 'n'.

Reorder the terms:
-8 + -27 + 2n + n2 = 27 + -27

Combine like terms: -8 + -27 = -35
-35 + 2n + n2 = 27 + -27

Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0
-35 + 2n + n2 = 0
