(x+1)(x)=(2)(x)

Solution for (x+1)(x)=(2)(x) equation:

Simplifying
(x + 1)(x) = (2)(x)

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x) = (2)(x)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
x(1 + x) = (2)(x)
(1 * x + x * x) = (2)(x)
(1x + x2) = (2)(x)

Solving
1x + x2 = 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
1x + -2x + x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 1x + -2x = -1x
-1x + x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-1x + x2 = 0

Simplifying
x = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1 + x = 0

Solving
-1 + x = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
x = 1
Solution
x = {0, 1}
