(2x)(x-1)=2

Solution for (2x)(x-1)=2 equation:

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

Remove parenthesis around (2x)
2x(x + -1) = 2

Reorder the terms:
2x(-1 + x) = 2
(-1 * 2x + x * 2x) = 2
(-2x + 2x2) = 2

Solving
-2x + 2x2 = 2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -2x + 2x2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-2 + -2x + 2x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-1 + -1x + x2) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-1 + -1x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1 + -1x + x2 = 0

Solving
-1 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

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 = 1 + 0.25

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

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1
x + -0.5 = 1.118033989

Simplifying
x + -0.5 = 1.118033989

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + x = 1.118033989

Solving
-0.5 + x = 1.118033989

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 0.5 + x = 1.118033989 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.118033989 + 0.5
x = 1.118033989 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + 0.5 = 1.618033989
x = 1.618033989

Simplifying
x = 1.618033989

Subproblem 2
x + -0.5 = -1.118033989

Simplifying
x + -0.5 = -1.118033989

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + x = -1.118033989

Solving
-0.5 + x = -1.118033989

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 0.5 + x = -1.118033989 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.118033989 + 0.5
x = -1.118033989 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + 0.5 = -0.618033989
x = -0.618033989

Simplifying
x = -0.618033989
