Solution for (2x+1)(x-5)=(2x-1)-(x-1) equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + -5) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + -5) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(-5 + x) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-5 + x)
(1(-5 + x) + 2x * (-5 + x)) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)
((-5 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-5 + x)) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)
((-5 + 1x) + 2x * (-5 + x)) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)
(-5 + 1x + (-5 * 2x + x * 2x)) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)
(-5 + 1x + (-10x + 2x2)) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)

Combine like terms: 1x + -10x = -9x
(-5 + -9x + 2x2) = (2x + -1) + -1(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = (-1 + 2x) + -1(x + -1)

Remove parenthesis around (-1 + 2x)
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = -1 + 2x + -1(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = -1 + 2x + -1(-1 + x)
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = -1 + 2x + (-1 * -1 + x * -1)
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = -1 + 2x + (1 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = -1 + 1 + 2x + -1x

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = 0 + 2x + -1x
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = 2x + -1x

Combine like terms: 2x + -1x = 1x
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = 1x

Solving
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = 1x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-5 + -9x + -1x + 2x2 = 1x + -1x

Combine like terms: -9x + -1x = -10x
-5 + -10x + 2x2 = 1x + -1x

Combine like terms: 1x + -1x = 0
-5 + -10x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + -5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-5x + x2 = 2.5

The x term is -5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5x + 6.25 + x2 = 2.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5x + x2 = 2.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 6.25 = 8.75
6.25 + -5x + x2 = 8.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2.5)(x + -2.5) = 8.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.958039892

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2.5) equal to 2.958039892 and -2.958039892.
