(2x-4)(x-1)=0

Solution for (2x-4)(x-1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(2x + -4)(x + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + 2x)(x + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + 2x)(-1 + x) = 0

Multiply (-4 + 2x) * (-1 + x)
(-4(-1 + x) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 0
((-1 * -4 + x * -4) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 0
((4 + -4x) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 0
(4 + -4x + (-1 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 0
(4 + -4x + (-2x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -4x + -2x = -6x
(4 + -6x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
4 + -6x + 2x2 = 0
