(x+1)(x-2)=5

Solution for (x+1)(x-2)=5 equation:

Simplifying
(x + 1)(x + -2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x + -2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(-2 + x) = 5

Multiply (1 + x) * (-2 + x)
(1(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 5
((-2 * 1 + x * 1) + x(-2 + x)) = 5
((-2 + 1x) + x(-2 + x)) = 5
(-2 + 1x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 5
(-2 + 1x + (-2x + x2)) = 5

Combine like terms: 1x + -2x = -1x
(-2 + -1x + x2) = 5

Solving
-2 + -1x + x2 = 5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -5 + -1x + x2 = 5 + -5

Combine like terms: -2 + -5 = -7
-7 + -1x + x2 = 5 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
-7 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + -1x + 7 + x2 = 0 + 7

Reorder the terms:
-7 + 7 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 7
-1x + x2 = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7
-1x + x2 = 7

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 = 7 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 7 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 7 + 0.25 = 7.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 7.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 7.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.692582404

x = 3.192582404

Simplifying
x = 3.192582404

Subproblem 2
x + -0.5 = -2.692582404

Simplifying
x + -0.5 = -2.692582404

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + x = -2.692582404

Solving
-0.5 + x = -2.692582404

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 0.5 + x = -2.692582404 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -2.692582404 + 0.5
x = -2.692582404 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -2.692582404 + 0.5 = -2.192582404
