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


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

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

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

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

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

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 2x + -2x + x2 = x(x + 4)

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

Reorder the terms:
-8 + x2 = x(4 + x)
-8 + x2 = (4 * x + x * x)
-8 + x2 = (4x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
-8 + x2 + -1x2 = 4x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-8 + 0 = 4x + x2 + -1x2
-8 = 4x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-8 = 4x + 0
-8 = 4x

Solving
-8 = 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.
