Question
Solve the equation
x=0
Evaluate
2x5=3(x−2)×4(x×1)
Remove the parentheses
2x5=3(x−2)×4x×1
Multiply the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
3(x−2)×4x×1
Rewrite the expression
3(x−2)×4x
Multiply the terms
12(x−2)x
Multiply the terms
12x(x−2)
2x5=12x(x−2)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
12x(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
12x×x−12x×2
Multiply the terms
12x2−12x×2
Multiply the numbers
12x2−24x
2x5=12x2−24x
Move the expression to the left side
2x5−(12x2−24x)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
2x5−12x2+24x=0
Factor the expression
2x(x4−6x+12)=0
Divide both sides
x(x4−6x+12)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0x4−6x+12=0
