2-x\left(3x-2x+4\right)=1-\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-2.
2-x\left(x+4\right)=1-\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
2-\left(x^{2}+4x\right)=1-\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x+4.
2-x^{2}-4x=1-\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)
To find the opposite of x^{2}+4x, find the opposite of each term.
2-x^{2}-4x=1-\left(x^{2}-x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x+1 by x-2 and combine like terms.
2-x^{2}-4x=1-x^{2}+x+2
To find the opposite of x^{2}-x-2, find the opposite of each term.
2-x^{2}-4x=3-x^{2}+x
Add 1 and 2 to get 3.
2-x^{2}-4x+x^{2}=3+x
Add x^{2} to both sides.
2-4x=3+x
Combine -x^{2} and x^{2} to get 0.
2-4x-x=3
Subtract x from both sides.
2-5x=3
Combine -4x and -x to get -5x.
-5x=3-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-5x=1
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{1}{5}
Fraction \frac{1}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
