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


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

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

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

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

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

Solving
-2 + -1x + x2 = 2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -2 + -1x + x2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: -2 + -2 = -4
-4 + -1x + x2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-4 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4
-1x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-1x + x2 = 4

The x term is -1x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 4.25
