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


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

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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 2x + 4x = 6x
-2 + -1x + x2 = 6x

Solving
-2 + -1x + x2 = 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -1x + -6x + x2 = 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: -1x + -6x = -7x
-2 + -7x + x2 = 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
-2 + -7x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.
