Solution for (12+x)*(4+x)=57 equation:


Simplifying
(12 + x)(4 + x) = 57

Multiply (12 + x) * (4 + x)
(12(4 + x) + x(4 + x)) = 57
((4 * 12 + x * 12) + x(4 + x)) = 57
((48 + 12x) + x(4 + x)) = 57
(48 + 12x + (4 * x + x * x)) = 57
(48 + 12x + (4x + x2)) = 57

Combine like terms: 12x + 4x = 16x
(48 + 16x + x2) = 57

Solving
48 + 16x + x2 = 57

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
48 + -57 + 16x + x2 = 57 + -57

Combine like terms: 48 + -57 = -9
-9 + 16x + x2 = 57 + -57

Combine like terms: 57 + -57 = 0
-9 + 16x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + 16x + 9 + x2 = 0 + 9
