Solution for (w-1)(w+2)=w(w-4) equation:


Simplifying
(w + -1)(w + 2) = w(w + -4)

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

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

Multiply (-1 + w) * (2 + w)
(-1(2 + w) + w(2 + w)) = w(w + -4)
((2 * -1 + w * -1) + w(2 + w)) = w(w + -4)
((-2 + -1w) + w(2 + w)) = w(w + -4)
(-2 + -1w + (2 * w + w * w)) = w(w + -4)
(-2 + -1w + (2w + w2)) = w(w + -4)

Combine like terms: -1w + 2w = 1w
(-2 + 1w + w2) = w(w + -4)

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 1w + w2 = w(-4 + w)
-2 + 1w + w2 = (-4 * w + w * w)
-2 + 1w + w2 = (-4w + w2)

Add '-1w2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 1w + w2 + -1w2 = -4w + w2 + -1w2

Combine like terms: w2 + -1w2 = 0
-2 + 1w + 0 = -4w + w2 + -1w2
-2 + 1w = -4w + w2 + -1w2

Combine like terms: w2 + -1w2 = 0
-2 + 1w = -4w + 0
-2 + 1w = -4w

Solving
-2 + 1w = -4w

Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Add '4w' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 1w + 4w = -4w + 4w

Combine like terms: 1w + 4w = 5w
-2 + 5w = -4w + 4w

Combine like terms: -4w + 4w = 0
-2 + 5w = 0

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + 5w = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 5w = 0 + 2
5w = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
5w = 2

Divide each side by '5'.
w = 0.4

Simplifying
w = 0.4
