Solution for (0.25x-4)(x-5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(0.25x + -4)(x + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + 0.25x)(x + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + 0.25x)(-5 + x) = 0

Multiply (-4 + 0.25x) * (-5 + x)
(-4(-5 + x) + 0.25x * (-5 + x)) = 0
((-5 * -4 + x * -4) + 0.25x * (-5 + x)) = 0
((20 + -4x) + 0.25x * (-5 + x)) = 0
(20 + -4x + (-5 * 0.25x + x * 0.25x)) = 0
(20 + -4x + (-1.25x + 0.25x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -4x + -1.25x = -5.25x
(20 + -5.25x + 0.25x2) = 0

Solving
20 + -5.25x + 0.25x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
0.25 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '0.25'.
80 + -21x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-80' to each side of the equation.
80 + -21x + -80 + x2 = 0 + -80

Reorder the terms:
80 + -80 + -21x + x2 = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0
0 + -21x + x2 = 0 + -80
-21x + x2 = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80
-21x + x2 = -80

The x term is -21x.  Take half its coefficient (-10.5).
Square it (110.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '110.25' to each side of the equation.
-21x + 110.25 + x2 = -80 + 110.25

Reorder the terms:
110.25 + -21x + x2 = -80 + 110.25

Combine like terms: -80 + 110.25 = 30.25
110.25 + -21x + x2 = 30.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -10.5)(x + -10.5) = 30.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -10.5) equal to 5.5 and -5.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -10.5 = 5.5 Simplifying x + -10.5 = 5.5 Reorder the terms: -10.5 + x = 5.5 Solving -10.5 + x = 5.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '10.5' to each side of the equation. -10.5 + 10.5 + x = 5.5 + 10.5 Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 5.5 + 10.5 x = 5.5 + 10.5 Combine like terms: 5.5 + 10.5 = 16 x = 16 Simplifying x = 16

Subproblem 2

x + -10.5 = -5.5 Simplifying x + -10.5 = -5.5 Reorder the terms: -10.5 + x = -5.5 Solving -10.5 + x = -5.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '10.5' to each side of the equation. -10.5 + 10.5 + x = -5.5 + 10.5 Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -5.5 + 10.5 x = -5.5 + 10.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + 10.5 = 5 x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {16, 5}
