(x-3)(2x+1)=

Solution for (x-3)(2x+1)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -3)(2x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(2x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(1 + 2x) = 0

Multiply (-3 + x) * (1 + 2x)
(-3(1 + 2x) + x(1 + 2x)) = 0
((1 * -3 + 2x * -3) + x(1 + 2x)) = 0
((-3 + -6x) + x(1 + 2x)) = 0
(-3 + -6x + (1 * x + 2x * x)) = 0
(-3 + -6x + (1x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -6x + 1x = -5x
(-3 + -5x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
-3 + -5x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
