Solution for 4x=(x-4)(x+5) equation:


Simplifying
4x = (x + -4)(x + 5)

Reorder the terms:
4x = (-4 + x)(x + 5)

Reorder the terms:
4x = (-4 + x)(5 + x)

Multiply (-4 + x) * (5 + x)
4x = (-4(5 + x) + x(5 + x))
4x = ((5 * -4 + x * -4) + x(5 + x))
4x = ((-20 + -4x) + x(5 + x))
4x = (-20 + -4x + (5 * x + x * x))
4x = (-20 + -4x + (5x + x2))

Combine like terms: -4x + 5x = 1x
4x = (-20 + 1x + x2)

Solving
4x = -20 + 1x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
20 + 4x + -1x + -1x2 = -20 + 1x + x2 + 20 + -1x + -1x2

Combine like terms: 4x + -1x = 3x
20 + 3x + -1x2 = -20 + 1x + x2 + 20 + -1x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
20 + 3x + -1x2 = -20 + 20 + 1x + -1x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
20 + 3x + -1x2 = 0 + 1x + -1x + x2 + -1x2
20 + 3x + -1x2 = 1x + -1x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 1x + -1x = 0
20 + 3x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
20 + 3x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
20 + 3x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-20 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + -3x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 20
-3x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
-3x + x2 = 20

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = 20 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 20 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 20 + 2.25 = 22.25
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 22.25
