Solution for (x+7)(2x-3)=140 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 7)(2x + -3) = 140

Reorder the terms:
(7 + x)(2x + -3) = 140

Reorder the terms:
(7 + x)(-3 + 2x) = 140

Multiply (7 + x) * (-3 + 2x)
(7(-3 + 2x) + x(-3 + 2x)) = 140
((-3 * 7 + 2x * 7) + x(-3 + 2x)) = 140
((-21 + 14x) + x(-3 + 2x)) = 140
(-21 + 14x + (-3 * x + 2x * x)) = 140
(-21 + 14x + (-3x + 2x2)) = 140

Combine like terms: 14x + -3x = 11x
(-21 + 11x + 2x2) = 140

Solving
-21 + 11x + 2x2 = 140

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-21 + -140 + 11x + 2x2 = 140 + -140

Combine like terms: -21 + -140 = -161
-161 + 11x + 2x2 = 140 + -140

Combine like terms: 140 + -140 = 0
-161 + 11x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-80.5 + 5.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '80.5' to each side of the equation.
-80.5 + 5.5x + 80.5 + x2 = 0 + 80.5

Reorder the terms:
-80.5 + 80.5 + 5.5x + x2 = 0 + 80.5

Combine like terms: -80.5 + 80.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5.5x + x2 = 0 + 80.5
5.5x + x2 = 0 + 80.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 80.5 = 80.5
5.5x + x2 = 80.5

The x term is 5.5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.75).
Square it (7.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '7.5625' to each side of the equation.
5.5x + 7.5625 + x2 = 80.5 + 7.5625

Reorder the terms:
7.5625 + 5.5x + x2 = 80.5 + 7.5625

Combine like terms: 80.5 + 7.5625 = 88.0625
7.5625 + 5.5x + x2 = 88.0625
