Solution for (2x-5)(x-7)=4x(x-1) equation:


Simplifying
(2x + -5)(x + -7) = 4x(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + 2x)(x + -7) = 4x(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + 2x)(-7 + x) = 4x(x + -1)

Multiply (-5 + 2x) * (-7 + x)
(-5(-7 + x) + 2x * (-7 + x)) = 4x(x + -1)
((-7 * -5 + x * -5) + 2x * (-7 + x)) = 4x(x + -1)
((35 + -5x) + 2x * (-7 + x)) = 4x(x + -1)
(35 + -5x + (-7 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 4x(x + -1)
(35 + -5x + (-14x + 2x2)) = 4x(x + -1)

Combine like terms: -5x + -14x = -19x
(35 + -19x + 2x2) = 4x(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
35 + -19x + 2x2 = 4x(-1 + x)
35 + -19x + 2x2 = (-1 * 4x + x * 4x)
35 + -19x + 2x2 = (-4x + 4x2)

Solving
35 + -19x + 2x2 = -4x + 4x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
35 + -19x + 4x + 2x2 + -4x2 = -4x + 4x2 + 4x + -4x2

Combine like terms: -19x + 4x = -15x
35 + -15x + 2x2 + -4x2 = -4x + 4x2 + 4x + -4x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -4x2 = -2x2
35 + -15x + -2x2 = -4x + 4x2 + 4x + -4x2

Reorder the terms:
35 + -15x + -2x2 = -4x + 4x + 4x2 + -4x2

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
35 + -15x + -2x2 = 0 + 4x2 + -4x2
35 + -15x + -2x2 = 4x2 + -4x2

Combine like terms: 4x2 + -4x2 = 0
35 + -15x + -2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-17.5 + 7.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '17.5' to each side of the equation.
-17.5 + 7.5x + 17.5 + x2 = 0 + 17.5

Reorder the terms:
-17.5 + 17.5 + 7.5x + x2 = 0 + 17.5

Combine like terms: -17.5 + 17.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 7.5x + x2 = 0 + 17.5
7.5x + x2 = 0 + 17.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 17.5 = 17.5
7.5x + x2 = 17.5

The x term is 7.5x.  Take half its coefficient (3.75).
Square it (14.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.0625' to each side of the equation.
7.5x + 14.0625 + x2 = 17.5 + 14.0625

Reorder the terms:
14.0625 + 7.5x + x2 = 17.5 + 14.0625

Combine like terms: 17.5 + 14.0625 = 31.5625
14.0625 + 7.5x + x2 = 31.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 3.75)(x + 3.75) = 31.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.618051264
