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

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

Simplifying
(x + -5)(2x + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(2x + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(4 + 2x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + x) * (4 + 2x)
(-5(4 + 2x) + x(4 + 2x)) = 0
((4 * -5 + 2x * -5) + x(4 + 2x)) = 0
((-20 + -10x) + x(4 + 2x)) = 0
(-20 + -10x + (4 * x + 2x * x)) = 0
(-20 + -10x + (4x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -10x + 4x = -6x
(-20 + -6x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
-20 + -6x + 2x2 = 0
