(x+-1)(x+2)=5(x+-1)

Solution for (x+-1)(x+2)=5(x+-1) equation:

Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + 2) = 5(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + 2) = 5(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(2 + x) = 5(x + -1)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (2 + x)
(-1(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 5(x + -1)
((2 * -1 + x * -1) + x(2 + x)) = 5(x + -1)
((-2 + -1x) + x(2 + x)) = 5(x + -1)
(-2 + -1x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 5(x + -1)
(-2 + -1x + (2x + x2)) = 5(x + -1)

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

Solving
-2 + 1x + x2 = -5 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 5 + 1x + -5x + x2 = -5 + 5x + 5 + -5x

Combine like terms: -2 + 5 = 3
3 + 1x + -5x + x2 = -5 + 5x + 5 + -5x

Combine like terms: 1x + -5x = -4x
3 + -4x + x2 = -5 + 5x + 5 + -5x

Reorder the terms:
3 + -4x + x2 = -5 + 5 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
3 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 5x + -5x
3 + -4x + x2 = 5x + -5x
