The solution

You have entered [src]
5*(x - 2) = (3*x + 2)*(x - 2)
$$5 \left(x - 2\right) = \left(x - 2\right) \left(3 x + 2\right)$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$5 \left(x - 2\right) = \left(x - 2\right) \left(3 x + 2\right)$$
to
$$- \left(x - 2\right) \left(3 x + 2\right) + 5 \left(x - 2\right) = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$- \left(x - 2\right) \left(3 x + 2\right) + 5 \left(x - 2\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- 3 x^{2} + 9 x - 6 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -3$$
$$b = 9$$
$$c = -6$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(9)^2 - 4 * (-3) * (-6) = 9

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$x_{2} = 2$$
