Solution for (x+1)(x+2)=8 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 1)(x + 2) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x + 2) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(2 + x) = 8

Multiply (1 + x) * (2 + x)
(1(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 8
((2 * 1 + x * 1) + x(2 + x)) = 8
((2 + 1x) + x(2 + x)) = 8
(2 + 1x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 8
(2 + 1x + (2x + x2)) = 8

Combine like terms: 1x + 2x = 3x
(2 + 3x + x2) = 8

Solving
2 + 3x + x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + -8 + 3x + x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 2 + -8 = -6
-6 + 3x + x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-6 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3x + 6 + x2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 6
3x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3x + x2 = 6

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

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 6 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 6 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 6 + 2.25 = 8.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 8.25
