Solution for x=(x-2)*(2x-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 = -8x
x = (8 + -8x + 2x2)

Solving
x = 8 + -8x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Combine like terms: x + 8x = 9x
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = 8 + -8x + 2x2 + -8 + 8x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = 8 + -8 + -8x + 8x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = 0 + -8x + 8x + 2x2 + -2x2
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = -8x + 8x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -8x + 8x = 0
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
-8 + 9x + -2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
4 + -4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4.5x + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + -4
-4.5x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-4.5x + x2 = -4

The x term is -4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5x + 5.0625 + x2 = -4 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = -4 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: -4 + 5.0625 = 1.0625
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 1.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2.25)(x + -2.25) = 1.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.030776406

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2.25) equal to 1.030776406 and -1.030776406.

Subproblem 1

x + -2.25 = 1.030776406 Simplifying x + -2.25 = 1.030776406 Reorder the terms: -2.25 + x = 1.030776406 Solving -2.25 + x = 1.030776406 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -2.25 + 2.25 + x = 1.030776406 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.030776406 + 2.25 x = 1.030776406 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 1.030776406 + 2.25 = 3.280776406 x = 3.280776406 Simplifying x = 3.280776406

Subproblem 2

x + -2.25 = -1.030776406 Simplifying x + -2.25 = -1.030776406 Reorder the terms: -2.25 + x = -1.030776406 Solving -2.25 + x = -1.030776406 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -2.25 + 2.25 + x = -1.030776406 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.030776406 + 2.25 x = -1.030776406 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -1.030776406 + 2.25 = 1.219223594 x = 1.219223594 Simplifying x = 1.219223594
