\text{Hey there!}


\text{In order for you can do the distributive property then work from there}


\text{x(x - 4) = x}\\\\\text{x(x)=x}^2\\\\\text{x(-3)= -3x}


\text{Subtract by the value of x on your sides!}


\text{Your new equation becomes: x}^2\text{- 3x = x}


\text{Like}\downarrow


\text{x}^2\text{- 3x - x = x - x}


\text{x - x = 0 }


\text{-3x + (-1x) = -4x}


\text{Our equation becomes: x}^2\text{- 4x = 0}


\text{Next, we have to FACTOR on the LEFT side of your equation}


\text{x(x - 4) = 0}


\text{Set the numbers to FACTOR out to 0}


\text{Like: x = 0 or x - 4 = 0}\text{ (solve that and you SHOULD have the x-values)}


\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer: x = 0\ or \ x =4}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
