(x+4)(x-2)=

Solution for (x+4)(x-2)= equation:

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

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

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

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

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

Solving
-8 + 2x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
