Solution for .5x(x-3)=65 equation:


Simplifying
0.5x(x + -3) = 65

Reorder the terms:
0.5x(-3 + x) = 65
(-3 * 0.5x + x * 0.5x) = 65
(-1.5x + 0.5x2) = 65

Solving
-1.5x + 0.5x2 = 65

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-65 + -1.5x + 0.5x2 = 65 + -65

Combine like terms: 65 + -65 = 0
-65 + -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'.
-130 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '130' to each side of the equation.
-130 + -3x + 130 + x2 = 0 + 130

Reorder the terms:
-130 + 130 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 130

Combine like terms: -130 + 130 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 130
-3x + x2 = 0 + 130

Combine like terms: 0 + 130 = 130
-3x + x2 = 130

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 = 130 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 130 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 130 + 2.25 = 132.25
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 132.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 132.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 11.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1.5) equal to 11.5 and -11.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.5 = 11.5 Simplifying x + -1.5 = 11.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = 11.5 Solving -1.5 + x = 11.5 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 = 11.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 11.5 + 1.5 x = 11.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 11.5 + 1.5 = 13 x = 13 Simplifying x = 13

Subproblem 2

x + -1.5 = -11.5 Simplifying x + -1.5 = -11.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = -11.5 Solving -1.5 + x = -11.5 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 = -11.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -11.5 + 1.5 x = -11.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -11.5 + 1.5 = -10 x = -10 Simplifying x = -10

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {13, -10}
