Solution for 2x=(3x-3)(x+4) equation:


Simplifying
2x = (3x + -3)(x + 4)

Reorder the terms:
2x = (-3 + 3x)(x + 4)

Reorder the terms:
2x = (-3 + 3x)(4 + x)

Multiply (-3 + 3x) * (4 + x)
2x = (-3(4 + x) + 3x * (4 + x))
2x = ((4 * -3 + x * -3) + 3x * (4 + x))
2x = ((-12 + -3x) + 3x * (4 + x))
2x = (-12 + -3x + (4 * 3x + x * 3x))
2x = (-12 + -3x + (12x + 3x2))

Combine like terms: -3x + 12x = 9x
2x = (-12 + 9x + 3x2)

Solving
2x = -12 + 9x + 3x2

Solving for variable 'x'.
