Simplifying
2x + -5(x + 4) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
2x + -5(4 + x) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
2x + (4 * -5 + x * -5) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
2x + (-20 + -5x) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 2x + -5x = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Combine like terms: 2x + -5x = -3x
-20 + -3x = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-20 + -3x = (1 + x)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-20 + -3x = (1 + x)(-3 + x)

Multiply (1 + x) * (-3 + x)
-20 + -3x = (1(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x))
-20 + -3x = ((-3 * 1 + x * 1) + x(-3 + x))
-20 + -3x = ((-3 + 1x) + x(-3 + x))
-20 + -3x = (-3 + 1x + (-3 * x + x * x))
-20 + -3x = (-3 + 1x + (-3x + x2))

Combine like terms: 1x + -3x = -2x
-20 + -3x = (-3 + -2x + x2)

Solving
-20 + -3x = -3 + -2x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(17 + x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 17 + x + x2 = 0 Solving 17 + x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-17' to each side of the equation. 17 + x + -17 + x2 = 0 + -17 Reorder the terms: 17 + -17 + x + x2 = 0 + -17 Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0 0 + x + x2 = 0 + -17 x + x2 = 0 + -17 Combine like terms: 0 + -17 = -17 x + x2 = -17 The x term is x. Take half its coefficient (0.5). Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. x + 0.25 + x2 = -17 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x + x2 = -17 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -17 + 0.25 = -16.75 0.25 + x + x2 = -16.75 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = -16.75 Can't calculate square root of the right side. The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
