(x+4)(x-12)=5x

Solution for (x+4)(x-12)=5x equation:

Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + -12) = 5x

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + -12) = 5x

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(-12 + x) = 5x

Multiply (4 + x) * (-12 + x)
(4(-12 + x) + x(-12 + x)) = 5x
((-12 * 4 + x * 4) + x(-12 + x)) = 5x
((-48 + 4x) + x(-12 + x)) = 5x
(-48 + 4x + (-12 * x + x * x)) = 5x
(-48 + 4x + (-12x + x2)) = 5x

Combine like terms: 4x + -12x = -8x
(-48 + -8x + x2) = 5x

Solving
-48 + -8x + x2 = 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-48 + -8x + -5x + x2 = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: -8x + -5x = -13x
-48 + -13x + x2 = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-48 + -13x + x2 = 0

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -1x = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -16
-1x = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
-1x = -16

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 16

Simplifying
x = 16
Solution
x = {-3, 16}
