240=(x+14)*x

Solution for 240=(x+14)*x equation:

Simplifying
240 = (x + 14) * x

Reorder the terms:
240 = (14 + x) * x

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
240 = x(14 + x)
240 = (14 * x + x * x)
240 = (14x + x2)

Solving
240 = 14x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
240 + -14x + -1x2 = 14x + -14x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 14x + -14x = 0
240 + -14x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
240 + -14x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
240 + -14x + -1x2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.
(10 + -1x)(24 + x) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + -1x = 0

Solving
10 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -10
-1x = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-1x = -10

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 10

Simplifying
x = 10
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(24 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
24 + x = 0

Solving
24 + x = 0

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

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.
24 + -24 + x = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -24
x = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 0 + -24 = -24
x = -24

Simplifying
x = -24
Solution
x = {10, -24}
