(x+1)(2x-6)=0

Solution for (x+1)(2x-6)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(x + 1)(2x + -6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(2x + -6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(-6 + 2x) = 0

Multiply (1 + x) * (-6 + 2x)
(1(-6 + 2x) + x(-6 + 2x)) = 0
((-6 * 1 + 2x * 1) + x(-6 + 2x)) = 0
((-6 + 2x) + x(-6 + 2x)) = 0
(-6 + 2x + (-6 * x + 2x * x)) = 0
(-6 + 2x + (-6x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -6x = -4x
(-6 + -4x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
-6 + -4x + 2x2 = 0
