Solution for (x+4)(2x-7)=18 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 4)(2x + -7) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(2x + -7) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(-7 + 2x) = 18

Multiply (4 + x) * (-7 + 2x)
(4(-7 + 2x) + x(-7 + 2x)) = 18
((-7 * 4 + 2x * 4) + x(-7 + 2x)) = 18
((-28 + 8x) + x(-7 + 2x)) = 18
(-28 + 8x + (-7 * x + 2x * x)) = 18
(-28 + 8x + (-7x + 2x2)) = 18

Combine like terms: 8x + -7x = 1x
(-28 + 1x + 2x2) = 18

Solving
-28 + 1x + 2x2 = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-28 + -18 + 1x + 2x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: -28 + -18 = -46
-46 + 1x + 2x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
-46 + 1x + 2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-23 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '23' to each side of the equation.
-23 + 0.5x + 23 + x2 = 0 + 23

Reorder the terms:
-23 + 23 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 23

Combine like terms: -23 + 23 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 23
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 23

Combine like terms: 0 + 23 = 23
0.5x + x2 = 23

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 = 23 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 23 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 23 + 0.0625 = 23.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 23.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 23.0625
