Solution for (n+2)(n+5)=280 equation:


Simplifying
(n + 2)(n + 5) = 280

Reorder the terms:
(2 + n)(n + 5) = 280

Reorder the terms:
(2 + n)(5 + n) = 280

Multiply (2 + n) * (5 + n)
(2(5 + n) + n(5 + n)) = 280
((5 * 2 + n * 2) + n(5 + n)) = 280
((10 + 2n) + n(5 + n)) = 280
(10 + 2n + (5 * n + n * n)) = 280
(10 + 2n + (5n + n2)) = 280

Combine like terms: 2n + 5n = 7n
(10 + 7n + n2) = 280

Solving
10 + 7n + n2 = 280

Solving for variable 'n'.

Reorder the terms:
10 + -280 + 7n + n2 = 280 + -280

Combine like terms: 10 + -280 = -270
-270 + 7n + n2 = 280 + -280

Combine like terms: 280 + -280 = 0
-270 + 7n + n2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '270' to each side of the equation.
-270 + 7n + 270 + n2 = 0 + 270

Reorder the terms:
-270 + 270 + 7n + n2 = 0 + 270

Combine like terms: -270 + 270 = 0
0 + 7n + n2 = 0 + 270
7n + n2 = 0 + 270

Combine like terms: 0 + 270 = 270
7n + n2 = 270

The n term is 7n.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7n + 12.25 + n2 = 270 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7n + n2 = 270 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 270 + 12.25 = 282.25
12.25 + 7n + n2 = 282.25
