Solution for (x-7)x(x-2)=(x-4)x(x-4) equation:


Simplifying
(x + -7) * x(x + -2) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + x) * x(x + -2) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + x) * x(-2 + x) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
x(-7 + x)(-2 + x) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)

Multiply (-7 + x) * (-2 + x)
x(-7(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)
x((-2 * -7 + x * -7) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)
x((14 + -7x) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)
x(14 + -7x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)
x(14 + -7x + (-2x + x2)) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)

Combine like terms: -7x + -2x = -9x
x(14 + -9x + x2) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)
(14 * x + -9x * x + x2 * x) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)
(14x + -9x2 + x3) = (x + -4) * x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
14x + -9x2 + x3 = (-4 + x) * x(x + -4)

Reorder the terms:
14x + -9x2 + x3 = (-4 + x) * x(-4 + x)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x(-4 + x)(-4 + x)

Multiply (-4 + x) * (-4 + x)
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x(-4(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x))
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x((-4 * -4 + x * -4) + x(-4 + x))
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x((16 + -4x) + x(-4 + x))
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x(16 + -4x + (-4 * x + x * x))
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x(16 + -4x + (-4x + x2))

Combine like terms: -4x + -4x = -8x
14x + -9x2 + x3 = x(16 + -8x + x2)
14x + -9x2 + x3 = (16 * x + -8x * x + x2 * x)
14x + -9x2 + x3 = (16x + -8x2 + x3)

Add '-1x3' to each side of the equation.
14x + -9x2 + x3 + -1x3 = 16x + -8x2 + x3 + -1x3

Combine like terms: x3 + -1x3 = 0
14x + -9x2 + 0 = 16x + -8x2 + x3 + -1x3
14x + -9x2 = 16x + -8x2 + x3 + -1x3

Combine like terms: x3 + -1x3 = 0
14x + -9x2 = 16x + -8x2 + 0
14x + -9x2 = 16x + -8x2

Solving
14x + -9x2 = 16x + -8x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
14x + -16x + -9x2 + 8x2 = 16x + -8x2 + -16x + 8x2

Combine like terms: 14x + -16x = -2x
-2x + -9x2 + 8x2 = 16x + -8x2 + -16x + 8x2

Combine like terms: -9x2 + 8x2 = -1x2
-2x + -1x2 = 16x + -8x2 + -16x + 8x2

Reorder the terms:
-2x + -1x2 = 16x + -16x + -8x2 + 8x2

Combine like terms: 16x + -16x = 0
-2x + -1x2 = 0 + -8x2 + 8x2
-2x + -1x2 = -8x2 + 8x2

Combine like terms: -8x2 + 8x2 = 0
-2x + -1x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1x'.
-1x(2 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + x = 0 Solving 2 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -2 x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

x = {0, -2}
