Solution for x(x-1)(x-4)=0 equation:


Simplifying
x(x + -1)(x + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
x(-1 + x)(x + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
x(-1 + x)(-4 + x) = 0

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-4 + x)
x(-1(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
x((-4 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
x((4 + -1x) + x(-4 + x)) = 0
x(4 + -1x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = 0
x(4 + -1x + (-4x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + -4x = -5x
x(4 + -5x + x2) = 0
(4 * x + -5x * x + x2 * x) = 0
(4x + -5x2 + x3) = 0

Solving
4x + -5x2 + x3 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
