Solution for (1-x)x=260 equation:


Simplifying
(1 + -1x) * x = 260

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
x(1 + -1x) = 260
(1 * x + -1x * x) = 260
(1x + -1x2) = 260

Solving
1x + -1x2 = 260

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-260 + 1x + -1x2 = 260 + -260

Combine like terms: 260 + -260 = 0
-260 + 1x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
260 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-260' to each side of the equation.
260 + -1x + -260 + x2 = 0 + -260

Reorder the terms:
260 + -260 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -260

Combine like terms: 260 + -260 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -260
-1x + x2 = 0 + -260

Combine like terms: 0 + -260 = -260
-1x + x2 = -260

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = -260 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = -260 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -260 + 0.25 = -259.75
0.25 + -1x + x2 = -259.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = -259.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
