Solution for (1.5-x)(1.5-2x)=1.5 equation:


Simplifying
(1.5 + -1x)(1.5 + -2x) = 1.5

Multiply (1.5 + -1x) * (1.5 + -2x)
(1.5(1.5 + -2x) + -1x * (1.5 + -2x)) = 1.5
((1.5 * 1.5 + -2x * 1.5) + -1x * (1.5 + -2x)) = 1.5
((2.25 + -3x) + -1x * (1.5 + -2x)) = 1.5
(2.25 + -3x + (1.5 * -1x + -2x * -1x)) = 1.5
(2.25 + -3x + (-1.5x + 2x2)) = 1.5

Combine like terms: -3x + -1.5x = -4.5x
(2.25 + -4.5x + 2x2) = 1.5

Solving
2.25 + -4.5x + 2x2 = 1.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -1.5 + -4.5x + 2x2 = 1.5 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 2.25 + -1.5 = 0.75
0.75 + -4.5x + 2x2 = 1.5 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.75 + -4.5x + 2x2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.375 + -2.25x + x2 = 0.0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.375' to each side of the equation.
0.375 + -2.25x + -0.375 + x2 = 0.0 + -0.375
