Solution for (x+4)(x-5)=4(x-2) equation:


Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + -5) = 4(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + -5) = 4(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(-5 + x) = 4(x + -2)

Multiply (4 + x) * (-5 + x)
(4(-5 + x) + x(-5 + x)) = 4(x + -2)
((-5 * 4 + x * 4) + x(-5 + x)) = 4(x + -2)
((-20 + 4x) + x(-5 + x)) = 4(x + -2)
(-20 + 4x + (-5 * x + x * x)) = 4(x + -2)
(-20 + 4x + (-5x + x2)) = 4(x + -2)

Combine like terms: 4x + -5x = -1x
(-20 + -1x + x2) = 4(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
-20 + -1x + x2 = 4(-2 + x)
-20 + -1x + x2 = (-2 * 4 + x * 4)
-20 + -1x + x2 = (-8 + 4x)

Solving
-20 + -1x + x2 = -8 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 8 + -1x + -4x + x2 = -8 + 4x + 8 + -4x

Combine like terms: -20 + 8 = -12
-12 + -1x + -4x + x2 = -8 + 4x + 8 + -4x

Combine like terms: -1x + -4x = -5x
-12 + -5x + x2 = -8 + 4x + 8 + -4x

Reorder the terms:
-12 + -5x + x2 = -8 + 8 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
-12 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 4x + -4x
-12 + -5x + x2 = 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
-12 + -5x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + -5x + 12 + x2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 12
-5x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
-5x + x2 = 12

The x term is -5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5x + 6.25 + x2 = 12 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5x + x2 = 12 + 6.25
