Solution for (x-1)(0.5x+1)= equation:


Simplifying
(x + -1)(0.5x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(0.5x + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(1 + 0.5x) = 0

Multiply (-1 + x) * (1 + 0.5x)
(-1(1 + 0.5x) + x(1 + 0.5x)) = 0
((1 * -1 + 0.5x * -1) + x(1 + 0.5x)) = 0
((-1 + -0.5x) + x(1 + 0.5x)) = 0
(-1 + -0.5x + (1 * x + 0.5x * x)) = 0
(-1 + -0.5x + (1x + 0.5x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.5x + 1x = 0.5x
(-1 + 0.5x + 0.5x2) = 0

Solving
-1 + 0.5x + 0.5x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + x + x2 = 0 + 2

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

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
x + x2 = 2

The x term is x.  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.
 + 0.25 + x2 = 2 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = 2 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.25 = 2.25
1.25 + x2 = 2.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 2.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.5 and -1.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 1.5 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 1.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 1.5 Solving 0.5 + x = 1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.5 + -0.5 x = 1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -0.5 = 1 x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -1.5 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -1.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -1.5 Solving 0.5 + x = -1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = -1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.5 + -0.5 x = -1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + -0.5 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1, -2}
