Solution for (4x-1.6)(8+x)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(4x + -1.6)(8 + x) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1.6 + 4x)(8 + x) = 0

Multiply (-1.6 + 4x) * (8 + x)
(-1.6(8 + x) + 4x * (8 + x)) = 0
((8 * -1.6 + x * -1.6) + 4x * (8 + x)) = 0
((-12.8 + -1.6x) + 4x * (8 + x)) = 0
(-12.8 + -1.6x + (8 * 4x + x * 4x)) = 0
(-12.8 + -1.6x + (32x + 4x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1.6x + 32x = 30.4x
(-12.8 + 30.4x + 4x2) = 0

-3.2 + 7.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + 7.6x + 3.2 + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Reorder the terms:
-3.2 + 3.2 + 7.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 7.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.2
7.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.2 = 3.2
7.6x + x2 = 3.2

The x term is 7.6x.  Take half its coefficient (3.8).
Square it (14.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.44' to each side of the equation.
7.6x + 14.44 + x2 = 3.2 + 14.44

Reorder the terms:
14.44 + 7.6x + x2 = 3.2 + 14.44

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 14.44 = 17.64
14.44 + 7.6x + x2 = 17.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 3.8)(x + 3.8) = 17.64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.2

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 3.8) equal to 4.2 and -4.2.

Subproblem 1

x + 3.8 = 4.2 Simplifying x + 3.8 = 4.2 Reorder the terms: 3.8 + x = 4.2 Solving 3.8 + x = 4.2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.8' to each side of the equation. 3.8 + -3.8 + x = 4.2 + -3.8 Combine like terms: 3.8 + -3.8 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 4.2 + -3.8 x = 4.2 + -3.8 Combine like terms: 4.2 + -3.8 = 0.4 x = 0.4 Simplifying x = 0.4

Subproblem 2

x + 3.8 = -4.2 Simplifying x + 3.8 = -4.2 Reorder the terms: 3.8 + x = -4.2 Solving 3.8 + x = -4.2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.8' to each side of the equation. 3.8 + -3.8 + x = -4.2 + -3.8 Combine like terms: 3.8 + -3.8 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -4.2 + -3.8 x = -4.2 + -3.8 Combine like terms: -4.2 + -3.8 = -8 x = -8 Simplifying x = -8

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.4, -8}
