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


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

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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
4x + x2 = (-4 + 0 + x2)
4x + x2 = (-4 + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
4x + x2 + -1x2 = -4 + x2 + -1x2

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

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