Solution for (2x+1)(x-5)=-7x equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + -5) = -7x

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + -5) = -7x

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(-5 + x) = -7x

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-5 + x)
(1(-5 + x) + 2x * (-5 + x)) = -7x
((-5 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-5 + x)) = -7x
((-5 + 1x) + 2x * (-5 + x)) = -7x
(-5 + 1x + (-5 * 2x + x * 2x)) = -7x
(-5 + 1x + (-10x + 2x2)) = -7x

Combine like terms: 1x + -10x = -9x
(-5 + -9x + 2x2) = -7x

Solving
-5 + -9x + 2x2 = -7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-5 + -9x + 7x + 2x2 = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -9x + 7x = -2x
-5 + -2x + 2x2 = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-5 + -2x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -1x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-1x + x2 = 2.5

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 = 2.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.25 = 2.75
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 2.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 2.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.658312395
