Solution for (x+.8)(x+2.5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 0.8)(x + 2.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(0.8 + x)(x + 2.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(0.8 + x)(2.5 + x) = 0

Multiply (0.8 + x) * (2.5 + x)
(0.8(2.5 + x) + x(2.5 + x)) = 0
((2.5 * 0.8 + x * 0.8) + x(2.5 + x)) = 0
((2 + 0.8x) + x(2.5 + x)) = 0
(2 + 0.8x + (2.5 * x + x * x)) = 0
(2 + 0.8x + (2.5x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 0.8x + 2.5x = 3.3x
(2 + 3.3x + x2) = 0

Solving
2 + 3.3x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 3.3x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 3.3x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 3.3x + x2 = 0 + -2
3.3x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
3.3x + x2 = -2

The x term is 3.3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.65).
Square it (2.7225) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.7225' to each side of the equation.
3.3x + 2.7225 + x2 = -2 + 2.7225

Reorder the terms:
2.7225 + 3.3x + x2 = -2 + 2.7225

Combine like terms: -2 + 2.7225 = 0.7225
2.7225 + 3.3x + x2 = 0.7225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.65)(x + 1.65) = 0.7225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.85

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.65) equal to 0.85 and -0.85.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.65 = 0.85 Simplifying x + 1.65 = 0.85 Reorder the terms: 1.65 + x = 0.85 Solving 1.65 + x = 0.85 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.65' to each side of the equation. 1.65 + -1.65 + x = 0.85 + -1.65 Combine like terms: 1.65 + -1.65 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.85 + -1.65 x = 0.85 + -1.65 Combine like terms: 0.85 + -1.65 = -0.8 x = -0.8 Simplifying x = -0.8

Subproblem 2

x + 1.65 = -0.85 Simplifying x + 1.65 = -0.85 Reorder the terms: 1.65 + x = -0.85 Solving 1.65 + x = -0.85 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.65' to each side of the equation. 1.65 + -1.65 + x = -0.85 + -1.65 Combine like terms: 1.65 + -1.65 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.85 + -1.65 x = -0.85 + -1.65 Combine like terms: -0.85 + -1.65 = -2.5 x = -2.5 Simplifying x = -2.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-0.8, -2.5}
