The solution

You have entered [src]
(x - 19)*(x + 4) = 0
$$\left(x - 19\right) \left(x + 4\right) = 0$$
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(x - 19\right) \left(x + 4\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$x^{2} - 15 x - 76 = 0$$
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -15$$
$$c = -76$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-15)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-76) = 529

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

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

or
$$x_{1} = 19$$
$$x_{2} = -4$$
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -4
$$x_{1} = -4$$
x2 = 19
$$x_{2} = 19$$
x2 = 19
