Solution for (x-1)(x+4)=x(x+2) equation:


Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + 4) = x(x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + 4) = x(x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(4 + x) = x(x + 2)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (4 + x)
(-1(4 + x) + x(4 + x)) = x(x + 2)
((4 * -1 + x * -1) + x(4 + x)) = x(x + 2)
((-4 + -1x) + x(4 + x)) = x(x + 2)
(-4 + -1x + (4 * x + x * x)) = x(x + 2)
(-4 + -1x + (4x + x2)) = x(x + 2)

Combine like terms: -1x + 4x = 3x
(-4 + 3x + x2) = x(x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 3x + x2 = x(2 + x)
-4 + 3x + x2 = (2 * x + x * x)
-4 + 3x + x2 = (2x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 3x + x2 + -1x2 = 2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-4 + 3x + 0 = 2x + x2 + -1x2
-4 + 3x = 2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-4 + 3x = 2x + 0
-4 + 3x = 2x

Solving
-4 + 3x = 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
