Explanation:

It's a quadratic equation which simplifies to x²+2x-8

Now if you want to "solve" it then you must be a little more particular with your question because you can do many things with a quadratic equation, you can:

1. Factorise it

2. find the zeros

3. graph it

4. describe the nature of its roots,etc

but let me help you factorise it

x²+2x-8

x²+4x-2x-8

x(x+4)-2(x+4)

(x-2)(x+4)
