Solution for (x-1)(x-2)=10 equation:


Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + -2) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + -2) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-2 + x) = 10

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-1(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 10
((-2 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-2 + x)) = 10
((2 + -1x) + x(-2 + x)) = 10
(2 + -1x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 10
(2 + -1x + (-2x + x2)) = 10

Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x
(2 + -3x + x2) = 10

Solving
2 + -3x + x2 = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + -10 + -3x + x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 2 + -10 = -8
-8 + -3x + x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-8 + -3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + -3x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 8
-3x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
-3x + x2 = 8

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.
