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


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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 4x + 2x = 6x
0 = (8 + 6x + x2)

Solving
0 = 8 + 6x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = 8 + 6x + x2 + -8 + -6x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = 8 + -8 + 6x + -6x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = 0 + 6x + -6x + x2 + -1x2
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = 6x + -6x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-8 + -6x + -1x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1'.
-1(8 + 6x + x2) = 0
