Solution for 2(2x-7)=x(x-4) equation:


Simplifying
2(2x + -7) = x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
2(-7 + 2x) = x(x + -4)
(-7 * 2 + 2x * 2) = x(x + -4)
(-14 + 4x) = x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 4x = x(-4 + x)
-14 + 4x = (-4 * x + x * x)
-14 + 4x = (-4x + x2)

Solving
-14 + 4x = -4x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 4x + 4x = 8x
-14 + 8x + -1x2 = -4x + x2 + 4x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 8x + -1x2 = -4x + 4x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
-14 + 8x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-14 + 8x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-14 + 8x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
14 + -8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-14' to each side of the equation.
14 + -8x + -14 + x2 = 0 + -14

Reorder the terms:
14 + -14 + -8x + x2 = 0 + -14

Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0
0 + -8x + x2 = 0 + -14
-8x + x2 = 0 + -14
