Solution for (x+2.5)(x-3)= equation:


Simplifying
(x + 2.5)(x + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2.5 + x)(x + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2.5 + x)(-3 + x) = 0

Multiply (2.5 + x) * (-3 + x)
(2.5(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x)) = 0
((-3 * 2.5 + x * 2.5) + x(-3 + x)) = 0
((-7.5 + 2.5x) + x(-3 + x)) = 0
(-7.5 + 2.5x + (-3 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-7.5 + 2.5x + (-3x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2.5x + -3x = -0.5x
(-7.5 + -0.5x + x2) = 0

Solving
-7.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + -0.5x + 7.5 + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
-0.5x + x2 = 7.5

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 = 7.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 7.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 0.0625 = 7.5625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 7.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 7.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.75

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.25) equal to 2.75 and -2.75.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.25 = 2.75 Simplifying x + -0.25 = 2.75 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + x = 2.75 Solving -0.25 + x = 2.75 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 = 2.75 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.75 + 0.25 x = 2.75 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 2.75 + 0.25 = 3 x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Subproblem 2

x + -0.25 = -2.75 Simplifying x + -0.25 = -2.75 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + x = -2.75 Solving -0.25 + x = -2.75 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 = -2.75 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.75 + 0.25 x = -2.75 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -2.75 + 0.25 = -2.5 x = -2.5 Simplifying x = -2.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3, -2.5}
