Solution for (2x-6)(x+7)=x equation:


Simplifying
(2x + -6)(x + 7) = x

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + 2x)(x + 7) = x

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + 2x)(7 + x) = x

Multiply (-6 + 2x) * (7 + x)
(-6(7 + x) + 2x * (7 + x)) = x
((7 * -6 + x * -6) + 2x * (7 + x)) = x
((-42 + -6x) + 2x * (7 + x)) = x
(-42 + -6x + (7 * 2x + x * 2x)) = x
(-42 + -6x + (14x + 2x2)) = x

Combine like terms: -6x + 14x = 8x
(-42 + 8x + 2x2) = x

Solving
-42 + 8x + 2x2 = x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-42 + 8x + -1x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x
-42 + 7x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-42 + 7x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-21 + 3.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '21' to each side of the equation.
-21 + 3.5x + 21 + x2 = 0 + 21

Reorder the terms:
-21 + 21 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0
0 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 21
3.5x + x2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: 0 + 21 = 21
3.5x + x2 = 21

The x term is 3.5x.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5x + 3.0625 + x2 = 21 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 21 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 21 + 3.0625 = 24.0625
3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 24.0625
