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

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

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

Multiply (2 + x) * (-4 + x)
(2(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
((-4 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
((-8 + 2x) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
(-8 + 2x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-8 + 2x + (-4x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x
(-8 + -2x + x2) = 0

Solving
-8 + -2x + x2 = 0
