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
