Solution for (4x-6)(2x+1)=(-.5) equation:


Simplifying
(4x + -6)(2x + 1) = (-0.5)

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + 4x)(2x + 1) = (-0.5)

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + 4x)(1 + 2x) = (-0.5)

Multiply (-6 + 4x) * (1 + 2x)
(-6(1 + 2x) + 4x * (1 + 2x)) = (-0.5)
((1 * -6 + 2x * -6) + 4x * (1 + 2x)) = (-0.5)
((-6 + -12x) + 4x * (1 + 2x)) = (-0.5)
(-6 + -12x + (1 * 4x + 2x * 4x)) = (-0.5)
(-6 + -12x + (4x + 8x2)) = (-0.5)

Combine like terms: -12x + 4x = -8x
(-6 + -8x + 8x2) = (-0.5)
-6 + -8x + 8x2 = -0.5

Solving
-6 + -8x + 8x2 = -0.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 0.5 + -8x + 8x2 = -0.5 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -6 + 0.5 = -5.5
-5.5 + -8x + 8x2 = -0.5 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
-5.5 + -8x + 8x2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.6875 + -1x + x2 = 0.0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6875' to each side of the equation.
-0.6875 + -1x + 0.6875 + x2 = 0.0 + 0.6875

Reorder the terms:
-0.6875 + 0.6875 + -1x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.6875

Combine like terms: -0.6875 + 0.6875 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -1x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.6875
-1x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.6875

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.6875 = 0.6875
-1x + x2 = 0.6875

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 = 0.6875 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.6875 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.6875 + 0.25 = 0.9375
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.9375
