Solution for 2x=(x-2)*(x+6) equation:


Simplifying
2x = (x + -2)(x + 6)

Reorder the terms:
2x = (-2 + x)(x + 6)

Reorder the terms:
2x = (-2 + x)(6 + x)

Multiply (-2 + x) * (6 + x)
2x = (-2(6 + x) + x(6 + x))
2x = ((6 * -2 + x * -2) + x(6 + x))
2x = ((-12 + -2x) + x(6 + x))
2x = (-12 + -2x + (6 * x + x * x))
2x = (-12 + -2x + (6x + x2))

Combine like terms: -2x + 6x = 4x
2x = (-12 + 4x + x2)

Solving
2x = -12 + 4x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
12 + 2x + -4x + -1x2 = -12 + 4x + x2 + 12 + -4x + -1x2

Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x
12 + -2x + -1x2 = -12 + 4x + x2 + 12 + -4x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
12 + -2x + -1x2 = -12 + 12 + 4x + -4x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
12 + -2x + -1x2 = 0 + 4x + -4x + x2 + -1x2
12 + -2x + -1x2 = 4x + -4x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
12 + -2x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
12 + -2x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
12 + -2x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-12 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 2x + 12 + x2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 12
2x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
2x + x2 = 12
