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

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

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

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

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

Multiply (-2 + x) * (4 + 2x)
x = (-2(4 + 2x) + x(4 + 2x))
x = ((4 * -2 + 2x * -2) + x(4 + 2x))
x = ((-8 + -4x) + x(4 + 2x))
x = (-8 + -4x + (4 * x + 2x * x))
x = (-8 + -4x + (4x + 2x2))

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
x = (-8 + 0 + 2x2)
x = (-8 + 2x2)

Solving
x = -8 + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
8 + x + -2x2 = -8 + 2x2 + 8 + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
8 + x + -2x2 = -8 + 8 + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
8 + x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
8 + x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
8 + x + -2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-4 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -0.5x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-0.5x + x2 = 4

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.5x + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + -0.5x + x2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.

Subproblem 1
x + 0.5 = 2.061552813

Simplifying
x + 0.5 = 2.061552813

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + x = 2.061552813

Solving
0.5 + x = 2.061552813

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + x = 2.061552813 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 2.061552813 + -0.5
x = 2.061552813 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 2.061552813 + -0.5 = 1.561552813
x = 1.561552813

Simplifying
x = 1.561552813

Subproblem 2
x + 0.5 = -2.061552813

Simplifying
x + 0.5 = -2.061552813

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + x = -2.061552813

Solving
0.5 + x = -2.061552813

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + x = -2.061552813 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -2.061552813 + -0.5
x = -2.061552813 + -0.5

Combine like terms: -2.061552813 + -0.5 = -2.561552813
x = -2.561552813
