Solution for .5(x+5)(x+5)=18 equation:


Simplifying
0.5(x + 5)(x + 5) = 18

Reorder the terms:
0.5(5 + x)(x + 5) = 18

Reorder the terms:
0.5(5 + x)(5 + x) = 18

Multiply (5 + x) * (5 + x)
0.5(5(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = 18
0.5((5 * 5 + x * 5) + x(5 + x)) = 18
0.5((25 + 5x) + x(5 + x)) = 18
0.5(25 + 5x + (5 * x + x * x)) = 18
0.5(25 + 5x + (5x + x2)) = 18

Combine like terms: 5x + 5x = 10x
0.5(25 + 10x + x2) = 18
(25 * 0.5 + 10x * 0.5 + x2 * 0.5) = 18
(12.5 + 5x + 0.5x2) = 18

Solving
12.5 + 5x + 0.5x2 = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
12.5 + -18 + 5x + 0.5x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: 12.5 + -18 = -5.5
-5.5 + 5x + 0.5x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
-5.5 + 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'.
-11 + 10x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 10x + 11 + x2 = 0 + 11

Reorder the terms:
-11 + 11 + 10x + x2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 10x + x2 = 0 + 11
10x + x2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: 0 + 11 = 11
10x + x2 = 11

The x term is 10x.  Take half its coefficient (5).
Square it (25) and add it to both sides.

Add '25' to each side of the equation.
10x + 25 + x2 = 11 + 25

Reorder the terms:
25 + 10x + x2 = 11 + 25

Combine like terms: 11 + 25 = 36
25 + 10x + x2 = 36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 5)(x + 5) = 36
