Solution for (x+3)(x-4)=1 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 3)(x + -4) = 1

Reorder the terms:
(3 + x)(x + -4) = 1

Reorder the terms:
(3 + x)(-4 + x) = 1

Multiply (3 + x) * (-4 + x)
(3(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = 1
((-4 * 3 + x * 3) + x(-4 + x)) = 1
((-12 + 3x) + x(-4 + x)) = 1
(-12 + 3x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = 1
(-12 + 3x + (-4x + x2)) = 1

Combine like terms: 3x + -4x = -1x
(-12 + -1x + x2) = 1

Solving
-12 + -1x + x2 = 1

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + -1 + -1x + x2 = 1 + -1

Combine like terms: -12 + -1 = -13
-13 + -1x + x2 = 1 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
-13 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '13' to each side of the equation.
-13 + -1x + 13 + x2 = 0 + 13

Reorder the terms:
-13 + 13 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 13
-1x + x2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: 0 + 13 = 13
-1x + x2 = 13

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 = 13 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 13 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 13 + 0.25 = 13.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 13.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 13.25
