Solution for (X+2)(X-5)=-18 equation:


Simplifying
(X + 2)(X + -5) = -18

Reorder the terms:
(2 + X)(X + -5) = -18

Reorder the terms:
(2 + X)(-5 + X) = -18

Multiply (2 + X) * (-5 + X)
(2(-5 + X) + X(-5 + X)) = -18
((-5 * 2 + X * 2) + X(-5 + X)) = -18
((-10 + 2X) + X(-5 + X)) = -18
(-10 + 2X + (-5 * X + X * X)) = -18
(-10 + 2X + (-5X + X2)) = -18

Combine like terms: 2X + -5X = -3X
(-10 + -3X + X2) = -18

Solving
-10 + -3X + X2 = -18

Solving for variable 'X'.

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 18 + -3X + X2 = -18 + 18

Combine like terms: -10 + 18 = 8
8 + -3X + X2 = -18 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
8 + -3X + X2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -3X + -8 + X2 = 0 + -8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -8 + -3X + X2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3X + X2 = 0 + -8
-3X + X2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-3X + X2 = -8

The X term is -3X.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.
