Solution for (x+2)(x+1)=10 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + 1) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + 1) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(1 + x) = 10

Multiply (2 + x) * (1 + x)
(2(1 + x) + x(1 + x)) = 10
((1 * 2 + x * 2) + x(1 + x)) = 10
((2 + 2x) + x(1 + x)) = 10
(2 + 2x + (1 * x + x * x)) = 10
(2 + 2x + (1x + x2)) = 10

Combine like terms: 2x + 1x = 3x
(2 + 3x + x2) = 10

Solving
2 + 3x + x2 = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + -10 + 3x + x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 2 + -10 = -8
-8 + 3x + x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-8 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 3x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 8

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

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

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 = 8 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 8 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 8 + 2.25 = 10.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 10.25
