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

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

Simplifying
x(x + 1) + -2(x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
x(1 + x) + -2(x + 1) = 0
(1 * x + x * x) + -2(x + 1) = 0
(1x + x2) + -2(x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
1x + x2 + -2(1 + x) = 0
1x + x2 + (1 * -2 + x * -2) = 0
1x + x2 + (-2 + -2x) = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 1x + -2x + x2 = 0
