Solution for (2x+3)(x-2)=12 equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 3)(x + -2) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(3 + 2x)(x + -2) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(3 + 2x)(-2 + x) = 12

Multiply (3 + 2x) * (-2 + x)
(3(-2 + x) + 2x * (-2 + x)) = 12
((-2 * 3 + x * 3) + 2x * (-2 + x)) = 12
((-6 + 3x) + 2x * (-2 + x)) = 12
(-6 + 3x + (-2 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 12
(-6 + 3x + (-4x + 2x2)) = 12

Combine like terms: 3x + -4x = -1x
(-6 + -1x + 2x2) = 12

Solving
-6 + -1x + 2x2 = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + -12 + -1x + 2x2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: -6 + -12 = -18
-18 + -1x + 2x2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
-18 + -1x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-9 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + -0.5x + 9 + x2 = 0 + 9

Reorder the terms:
-9 + 9 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 9
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
-0.5x + x2 = 9

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 9 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 9 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 9 + 0.0625 = 9.0625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 9.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 9.0625
