Solution for (x-2x)(x-3)=20 equation:


Simplifying
(x + -2x)(x + -3) = 20

Combine like terms: x + -2x = -1x
(-1x)(x + -3) = 20

Remove parenthesis around (-1x)
-1x(x + -3) = 20

Reorder the terms:
-1x(-3 + x) = 20
(-3 * -1x + x * -1x) = 20
(3x + -1x2) = 20

Solving
3x + -1x2 = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 3x + -1x2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
-20 + 3x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
20 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -3x + -20 + x2 = 0 + -20

Reorder the terms:
20 + -20 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -20
-3x + x2 = 0 + -20
