Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + -1) = x(x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + -1) = x(x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(-1 + x) = x(x + 7)

Multiply (2 + x) * (-1 + x)
(2(-1 + x) + x(-1 + x)) = x(x + 7)
((-1 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-1 + x)) = x(x + 7)
((-2 + 2x) + x(-1 + x)) = x(x + 7)
(-2 + 2x + (-1 * x + x * x)) = x(x + 7)
(-2 + 2x + (-1x + x2)) = x(x + 7)

Combine like terms: 2x + -1x = 1x
(-2 + 1x + x2) = x(x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 1x + x2 = x(7 + x)
-2 + 1x + x2 = (7 * x + x * x)
-2 + 1x + x2 = (7x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 1x + x2 + -1x2 = 7x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-2 + 1x + 0 = 7x + x2 + -1x2
-2 + 1x = 7x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-2 + 1x = 7x + 0
-2 + 1x = 7x

Solving
-2 + 1x = 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.
