Solution for (x+2)(x-1.5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + -1.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + -1.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(-1.5 + x) = 0

Multiply (2 + x) * (-1.5 + x)
(2(-1.5 + x) + x(-1.5 + x)) = 0
((-1.5 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-1.5 + x)) = 0
((-3 + 2x) + x(-1.5 + x)) = 0
(-3 + 2x + (-1.5 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-3 + 2x + (-1.5x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -1.5x = 0.5x
(-3 + 0.5x + x2) = 0

Solving
-3 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 0.5x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 3
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
0.5x + x2 = 3

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 3 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 3 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.0625 = 3.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 3.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 3.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.75

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.25) equal to 1.75 and -1.75.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.25 = 1.75 Simplifying x + 0.25 = 1.75 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = 1.75 Solving 0.25 + x = 1.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = 1.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.75 + -0.25 x = 1.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -0.25 = 1.5 x = 1.5 Simplifying x = 1.5

Subproblem 2

x + 0.25 = -1.75 Simplifying x + 0.25 = -1.75 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = -1.75 Solving 0.25 + x = -1.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = -1.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.75 + -0.25 x = -1.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: -1.75 + -0.25 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.5, -2}
