Solution for 0=(2x+1)(x-4) equation: 


Simplifying
0 = (2x + 1)(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
0 = (1 + 2x)(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
0 = (1 + 2x)(-4 + x)

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-4 + x)
0 = (1(-4 + x) + 2x * (-4 + x))
0 = ((-4 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-4 + x))
0 = ((-4 + 1x) + 2x * (-4 + x))
0 = (-4 + 1x + (-4 * 2x + x * 2x))
0 = (-4 + 1x + (-8x + 2x2))

Combine like terms: 1x + -8x = -7x
0 = (-4 + -7x + 2x2)

Solving
0 = -4 + -7x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
4 + 7x + -2x2 = -4 + -7x + 2x2 + 4 + 7x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
4 + 7x + -2x2 = -4 + 4 + -7x + 7x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
4 + 7x + -2x2 = 0 + -7x + 7x + 2x2 + -2x2
4 + 7x + -2x2 = -7x + 7x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
4 + 7x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
4 + 7x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
4 + 7x + -2x2 = 0
