Solution for (b+0.5)(b+0.5)=29.75 equation:


Simplifying
(b + 0.5)(b + 0.5) = 29.75

Reorder the terms:
(0.5 + b)(b + 0.5) = 29.75

Reorder the terms:
(0.5 + b)(0.5 + b) = 29.75

Multiply (0.5 + b) * (0.5 + b)
(0.5(0.5 + b) + b(0.5 + b)) = 29.75
((0.5 * 0.5 + b * 0.5) + b(0.5 + b)) = 29.75
((0.25 + 0.5b) + b(0.5 + b)) = 29.75
(0.25 + 0.5b + (0.5 * b + b * b)) = 29.75
(0.25 + 0.5b + (0.5b + b2)) = 29.75

Combine like terms: 0.5b + 0.5b = 1b
(0.25 + 1b + b2) = 29.75

Solving
0.25 + 1b + b2 = 29.75

Solving for variable 'b'.

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -29.75 + 1b + b2 = 29.75 + -29.75

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -29.75 = -29.5
-29.5 + 1b + b2 = 29.75 + -29.75

Combine like terms: 29.75 + -29.75 = 0.00
-29.5 + 1b + b2 = 0.00

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '29.5' to each side of the equation.
-29.5 + 1b + 29.5 + b2 = 0.00 + 29.5

Reorder the terms:
-29.5 + 29.5 + 1b + b2 = 0.00 + 29.5

Combine like terms: -29.5 + 29.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1b + b2 = 0.00 + 29.5
1b + b2 = 0.00 + 29.5

Combine like terms: 0.00 + 29.5 = 29.5
1b + b2 = 29.5

The b term is 1b.  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.
b + 0.25 + b2 = 29.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + b + b2 = 29.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 29.5 + 0.25 = 29.75
