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

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

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

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

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

Multiply (4 + x) * (-1 + 2x)
(4(-1 + 2x) + x(-1 + 2x)) = 0
((-1 * 4 + 2x * 4) + x(-1 + 2x)) = 0
((-4 + 8x) + x(-1 + 2x)) = 0
(-4 + 8x + (-1 * x + 2x * x)) = 0
(-4 + 8x + (-1x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x
(-4 + 7x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
-4 + 7x + 2x2 = 0
