Solution for (15-0.5x)(5-0.1x)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(15 + -0.5x)(5 + -0.1x) = 0

Multiply (15 + -0.5x) * (5 + -0.1x)
(15(5 + -0.1x) + -0.5x * (5 + -0.1x)) = 0
((5 * 15 + -0.1x * 15) + -0.5x * (5 + -0.1x)) = 0
((75 + -1.5x) + -0.5x * (5 + -0.1x)) = 0
(75 + -1.5x + (5 * -0.5x + -0.1x * -0.5x)) = 0
(75 + -1.5x + (-2.5x + 0.05x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1.5x + -2.5x = -4x
(75 + -4x + 0.05x2) = 0

Solving
75 + -4x + 0.05x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.05'.
1500 + -80x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1500' to each side of the equation.
1500 + -80x + -1500 + x2 = 0 + -1500

Reorder the terms:
1500 + -1500 + -80x + x2 = 0 + -1500

Combine like terms: 1500 + -1500 = 0
0 + -80x + x2 = 0 + -1500
-80x + x2 = 0 + -1500

Combine like terms: 0 + -1500 = -1500
-80x + x2 = -1500

The x term is -80x.  Take half its coefficient (-40).
Square it (1600) and add it to both sides.

Add '1600' to each side of the equation.
-80x + 1600 + x2 = -1500 + 1600

Reorder the terms:
1600 + -80x + x2 = -1500 + 1600

Combine like terms: -1500 + 1600 = 100
1600 + -80x + x2 = 100

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -40)(x + -40) = 100

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -40) equal to 10 and -10.

Subproblem 1

x + -40 = 10 Simplifying x + -40 = 10 Reorder the terms: -40 + x = 10 Solving -40 + x = 10 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '40' to each side of the equation. -40 + 40 + x = 10 + 40 Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0 0 + x = 10 + 40 x = 10 + 40 Combine like terms: 10 + 40 = 50 x = 50 Simplifying x = 50

Subproblem 2

x + -40 = -10 Simplifying x + -40 = -10 Reorder the terms: -40 + x = -10 Solving -40 + x = -10 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '40' to each side of the equation. -40 + 40 + x = -10 + 40 Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0 0 + x = -10 + 40 x = -10 + 40 Combine like terms: -10 + 40 = 30 x = 30 Simplifying x = 30

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {50, 30}
