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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 2x + 4x = 6x
(8 + 6x + x2) = 2x

Solving
8 + 6x + x2 = 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
8 + 6x + -2x + x2 = 2x + -2x
