Solution for (w+12)(w+20)=360 equation:


Simplifying
(w + 12)(w + 20) = 360

Reorder the terms:
(12 + w)(w + 20) = 360

Reorder the terms:
(12 + w)(20 + w) = 360

Multiply (12 + w) * (20 + w)
(12(20 + w) + w(20 + w)) = 360
((20 * 12 + w * 12) + w(20 + w)) = 360
((240 + 12w) + w(20 + w)) = 360
(240 + 12w + (20 * w + w * w)) = 360
(240 + 12w + (20w + w2)) = 360

Combine like terms: 12w + 20w = 32w
(240 + 32w + w2) = 360

Solving
240 + 32w + w2 = 360

Solving for variable 'w'.

Reorder the terms:
240 + -360 + 32w + w2 = 360 + -360

Combine like terms: 240 + -360 = -120
-120 + 32w + w2 = 360 + -360

Combine like terms: 360 + -360 = 0
-120 + 32w + w2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '120' to each side of the equation.
-120 + 32w + 120 + w2 = 0 + 120

Reorder the terms:
-120 + 120 + 32w + w2 = 0 + 120

Combine like terms: -120 + 120 = 0
0 + 32w + w2 = 0 + 120
32w + w2 = 0 + 120

Combine like terms: 0 + 120 = 120
32w + w2 = 120

The w term is 32w.  Take half its coefficient (16).
Square it (256) and add it to both sides.

Add '256' to each side of the equation.
32w + 256 + w2 = 120 + 256

Reorder the terms:
256 + 32w + w2 = 120 + 256

Combine like terms: 120 + 256 = 376
256 + 32w + w2 = 376

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 16)(w + 16) = 376

Calculate the square root of the right side: 19.39071943

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 16) equal to 19.39071943 and -19.39071943.

Subproblem 1

w + 16 = 19.39071943 Simplifying w + 16 = 19.39071943 Reorder the terms: 16 + w = 19.39071943 Solving 16 + w = 19.39071943 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-16' to each side of the equation. 16 + -16 + w = 19.39071943 + -16 Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0 0 + w = 19.39071943 + -16 w = 19.39071943 + -16 Combine like terms: 19.39071943 + -16 = 3.39071943 w = 3.39071943 Simplifying w = 3.39071943

Subproblem 2

w + 16 = -19.39071943 Simplifying w + 16 = -19.39071943 Reorder the terms: 16 + w = -19.39071943 Solving 16 + w = -19.39071943 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-16' to each side of the equation. 16 + -16 + w = -19.39071943 + -16 Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0 0 + w = -19.39071943 + -16 w = -19.39071943 + -16 Combine like terms: -19.39071943 + -16 = -35.39071943 w = -35.39071943 Simplifying w = -35.39071943

Solution
