Solution for (8+x)*(x+38)=225 equation:


Simplifying
(8 + x)(x + 38) = 225

Reorder the terms:
(8 + x)(38 + x) = 225

Multiply (8 + x) * (38 + x)
(8(38 + x) + x(38 + x)) = 225
((38 * 8 + x * 8) + x(38 + x)) = 225
((304 + 8x) + x(38 + x)) = 225
(304 + 8x + (38 * x + x * x)) = 225
(304 + 8x + (38x + x2)) = 225

Combine like terms: 8x + 38x = 46x
(304 + 46x + x2) = 225

Solving
304 + 46x + x2 = 225

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
304 + -225 + 46x + x2 = 225 + -225

Combine like terms: 304 + -225 = 79
79 + 46x + x2 = 225 + -225

Combine like terms: 225 + -225 = 0
79 + 46x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-79' to each side of the equation.
79 + 46x + -79 + x2 = 0 + -79

Reorder the terms:
79 + -79 + 46x + x2 = 0 + -79

Combine like terms: 79 + -79 = 0
0 + 46x + x2 = 0 + -79
46x + x2 = 0 + -79

Combine like terms: 0 + -79 = -79
46x + x2 = -79

The x term is 46x.  Take half its coefficient (23).
Square it (529) and add it to both sides.

Add '529' to each side of the equation.
46x + 529 + x2 = -79 + 529
