(1+x)*(3+x)=15

Solution for (1+x)*(3+x)=15 equation:

Simplifying
(1 + x)(3 + x) = 15

Multiply (1 + x) * (3 + x)
(1(3 + x) + x(3 + x)) = 15
((3 * 1 + x * 1) + x(3 + x)) = 15
((3 + 1x) + x(3 + x)) = 15
(3 + 1x + (3 * x + x * x)) = 15
(3 + 1x + (3x + x2)) = 15

Combine like terms: 1x + 3x = 4x
(3 + 4x + x2) = 15

Solving
3 + 4x + x2 = 15

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
3 + -15 + 4x + x2 = 15 + -15

Combine like terms: 3 + -15 = -12
-12 + 4x + x2 = 15 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0
-12 + 4x + x2 = 0

2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -2
-1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 2

Simplifying
x = 2
Solution
x = {-6, 2}
