Solution for (x+5)(2x-6)=x equation:


Simplifying
(x + 5)(2x + -6) = x

Reorder the terms:
(5 + x)(2x + -6) = x

Reorder the terms:
(5 + x)(-6 + 2x) = x

Multiply (5 + x) * (-6 + 2x)
(5(-6 + 2x) + x(-6 + 2x)) = x
((-6 * 5 + 2x * 5) + x(-6 + 2x)) = x
((-30 + 10x) + x(-6 + 2x)) = x
(-30 + 10x + (-6 * x + 2x * x)) = x
(-30 + 10x + (-6x + 2x2)) = x

Combine like terms: 10x + -6x = 4x
(-30 + 4x + 2x2) = x

Solving
-30 + 4x + 2x2 = x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-30 + 4x + -1x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: 4x + -1x = 3x
-30 + 3x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-30 + 3x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-15 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 1.5x + 15 + x2 = 0 + 15

Reorder the terms:
-15 + 15 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 15
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
1.5x + x2 = 15

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 15 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 15 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 15 + 0.5625 = 15.5625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 15.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.75)(x + 0.75) = 15.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.94493346
