Solution for x(2x-4)=(2x+1)(x-2) equation:


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

Reorder the terms:
x(-4 + 2x) = (2x + 1)(x + -2)
(-4 * x + 2x * x) = (2x + 1)(x + -2)
(-4x + 2x2) = (2x + 1)(x + -2)

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

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

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-2 + x)
-4x + 2x2 = (1(-2 + x) + 2x * (-2 + x))
-4x + 2x2 = ((-2 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-2 + x))
-4x + 2x2 = ((-2 + 1x) + 2x * (-2 + x))
-4x + 2x2 = (-2 + 1x + (-2 * 2x + x * 2x))
-4x + 2x2 = (-2 + 1x + (-4x + 2x2))

Combine like terms: 1x + -4x = -3x
-4x + 2x2 = (-2 + -3x + 2x2)

Add '-2x2' to each side of the equation.
-4x + 2x2 + -2x2 = -2 + -3x + 2x2 + -2x2
