         2                              2
(2*x - 5)  + (4 - x)*(x + 4) = (3*x - 1) 
$$\left(4 - x\right) \left(x + 4\right) + \left(2 x - 5\right)^{2} = \left(3 x - 1\right)^{2}$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(4 - x\right) \left(x + 4\right) + \left(2 x - 5\right)^{2} = \left(3 x - 1\right)^{2}$$
to
$$- \left(3 x - 1\right)^{2} + \left(\left(4 - x\right) \left(x + 4\right) + \left(2 x - 5\right)^{2}\right) = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$- \left(3 x - 1\right)^{2} + \left(\left(4 - x\right) \left(x + 4\right) + \left(2 x - 5\right)^{2}\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- 6 x^{2} - 14 x + 40 = 0$$
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
$$a = -6$$
$$b = -14$$
$$c = 40$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-14)^2 - 4 * (-6) * (40) = 1156

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

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

or
$$x_{1} = -4$$
Simplify
$$x_{2} = \frac{5}{3}$$
