Solution for .5(x+3)(x)=35 equation:


Simplifying
0.5(x + 3)(x) = 35

Reorder the terms:
0.5(3 + x)(x) = 35

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
0.5x(3 + x) = 35
(3 * 0.5x + x * 0.5x) = 35
(1.5x + 0.5x2) = 35

Solving
1.5x + 0.5x2 = 35

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-35 + 1.5x + 0.5x2 = 35 + -35

Combine like terms: 35 + -35 = 0
-35 + 1.5x + 0.5x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
-70 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '70' to each side of the equation.
-70 + 3x + 70 + x2 = 0 + 70

Reorder the terms:
-70 + 70 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 70

Combine like terms: -70 + 70 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 70
3x + x2 = 0 + 70

Combine like terms: 0 + 70 = 70
3x + x2 = 70

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 = 70 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 70 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 70 + 2.25 = 72.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 72.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 72.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 8.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.5) equal to 8.5 and -8.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.5 = 8.5 Simplifying x + 1.5 = 8.5 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + x = 8.5 Solving 1.5 + x = 8.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + x = 8.5 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 8.5 + -1.5 x = 8.5 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 8.5 + -1.5 = 7 x = 7 Simplifying x = 7

Subproblem 2

x + 1.5 = -8.5 Simplifying x + 1.5 = -8.5 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + x = -8.5 Solving 1.5 + x = -8.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + x = -8.5 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -8.5 + -1.5 x = -8.5 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -8.5 + -1.5 = -10 x = -10 Simplifying x = -10

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {7, -10}
