Solution for (x+4)*(x-1)=2 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + -1) = 2

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + -1) = 2

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(-1 + x) = 2

Multiply (4 + x) * (-1 + x)
(4(-1 + x) + x(-1 + x)) = 2
((-1 * 4 + x * 4) + x(-1 + x)) = 2
((-4 + 4x) + x(-1 + x)) = 2
(-4 + 4x + (-1 * x + x * x)) = 2
(-4 + 4x + (-1x + x2)) = 2

Combine like terms: 4x + -1x = 3x
(-4 + 3x + x2) = 2

Solving
-4 + 3x + x2 = 2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-4 + -2 + 3x + x2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: -4 + -2 = -6
-6 + 3x + x2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-6 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3x + 6 + x2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 6
3x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3x + x2 = 6

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 = 6 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 6 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 6 + 2.25 = 8.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 8.25
