Solution for (5x-1)(5x-1)=.36 equation:


Simplifying
(5x + -1)(5x + -1) = 0.36

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5x)(5x + -1) = 0.36

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5x)(-1 + 5x) = 0.36

Multiply (-1 + 5x) * (-1 + 5x)
(-1(-1 + 5x) + 5x * (-1 + 5x)) = 0.36
((-1 * -1 + 5x * -1) + 5x * (-1 + 5x)) = 0.36
((1 + -5x) + 5x * (-1 + 5x)) = 0.36
(1 + -5x + (-1 * 5x + 5x * 5x)) = 0.36
(1 + -5x + (-5x + 25x2)) = 0.36

Combine like terms: -5x + -5x = -10x
(1 + -10x + 25x2) = 0.36

Solving
1 + -10x + 25x2 = 0.36

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
1 + -0.36 + -10x + 25x2 = 0.36 + -0.36

Combine like terms: 1 + -0.36 = 0.64
0.64 + -10x + 25x2 = 0.36 + -0.36

Combine like terms: 0.36 + -0.36 = 0.00
0.64 + -10x + 25x2 = 0.00

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

Divide each side by '25'.
0.0256 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.00

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.0256' to each side of the equation.
0.0256 + -0.4x + -0.0256 + x2 = 0.00 + -0.0256

Reorder the terms:
0.0256 + -0.0256 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.00 + -0.0256

Combine like terms: 0.0256 + -0.0256 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.00 + -0.0256
-0.4x + x2 = 0.00 + -0.0256

Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.0256 = -0.0256
-0.4x + x2 = -0.0256

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = -0.0256 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = -0.0256 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.0256 + 0.04 = 0.0144
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.0144

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.2)(x + -0.2) = 0.0144

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.12

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.2) equal to 0.12 and -0.12.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.2 = 0.12 Simplifying x + -0.2 = 0.12 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + x = 0.12 Solving -0.2 + x = 0.12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + x = 0.12 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.12 + 0.2 x = 0.12 + 0.2 Combine like terms: 0.12 + 0.2 = 0.32 x = 0.32 Simplifying x = 0.32

Subproblem 2

x + -0.2 = -0.12 Simplifying x + -0.2 = -0.12 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + x = -0.12 Solving -0.2 + x = -0.12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + x = -0.12 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.12 + 0.2 x = -0.12 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.12 + 0.2 = 0.08 x = 0.08 Simplifying x = 0.08

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.32, 0.08}
