Solution for (18-x)(15+x)=280 equation:


Simplifying
(18 + -1x)(15 + x) = 280

Multiply (18 + -1x) * (15 + x)
(18(15 + x) + -1x * (15 + x)) = 280
((15 * 18 + x * 18) + -1x * (15 + x)) = 280
((270 + 18x) + -1x * (15 + x)) = 280
(270 + 18x + (15 * -1x + x * -1x)) = 280
(270 + 18x + (-15x + -1x2)) = 280

Combine like terms: 18x + -15x = 3x
(270 + 3x + -1x2) = 280

Solving
270 + 3x + -1x2 = 280

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
270 + -280 + 3x + -1x2 = 280 + -280

Combine like terms: 270 + -280 = -10
-10 + 3x + -1x2 = 280 + -280

Combine like terms: 280 + -280 = 0
-10 + 3x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
10 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -3x + -10 + x2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -10
-3x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-3x + x2 = -10

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = -10 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -10 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -10 + 2.25 = -7.75
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -7.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = -7.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
