Solution for 0.5(k+5)(k+2)=44 equation:


Simplifying
0.5(k + 5)(k + 2) = 44

Reorder the terms:
0.5(5 + k)(k + 2) = 44

Reorder the terms:
0.5(5 + k)(2 + k) = 44

Multiply (5 + k) * (2 + k)
0.5(5(2 + k) + k(2 + k)) = 44
0.5((2 * 5 + k * 5) + k(2 + k)) = 44
0.5((10 + 5k) + k(2 + k)) = 44
0.5(10 + 5k + (2 * k + k * k)) = 44
0.5(10 + 5k + (2k + k2)) = 44

Combine like terms: 5k + 2k = 7k
0.5(10 + 7k + k2) = 44
(10 * 0.5 + 7k * 0.5 + k2 * 0.5) = 44
(5 + 3.5k + 0.5k2) = 44

Solving
5 + 3.5k + 0.5k2 = 44

Solving for variable 'k'.

Reorder the terms:
5 + -44 + 3.5k + 0.5k2 = 44 + -44

Combine like terms: 5 + -44 = -39
-39 + 3.5k + 0.5k2 = 44 + -44

Combine like terms: 44 + -44 = 0
-39 + 3.5k + 0.5k2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
-78 + 7k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '78' to each side of the equation.
-78 + 7k + 78 + k2 = 0 + 78

Reorder the terms:
-78 + 78 + 7k + k2 = 0 + 78

Combine like terms: -78 + 78 = 0
0 + 7k + k2 = 0 + 78
7k + k2 = 0 + 78

Combine like terms: 0 + 78 = 78
7k + k2 = 78

The k term is 7k.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7k + 12.25 + k2 = 78 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7k + k2 = 78 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 78 + 12.25 = 90.25
12.25 + 7k + k2 = 90.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 3.5)(k + 3.5) = 90.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 9.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 3.5) equal to 9.5 and -9.5.

Subproblem 1

k + 3.5 = 9.5 Simplifying k + 3.5 = 9.5 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + k = 9.5 Solving 3.5 + k = 9.5 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + k = 9.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = 9.5 + -3.5 k = 9.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 9.5 + -3.5 = 6 k = 6 Simplifying k = 6

Subproblem 2

k + 3.5 = -9.5 Simplifying k + 3.5 = -9.5 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + k = -9.5 Solving 3.5 + k = -9.5 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + k = -9.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = -9.5 + -3.5 k = -9.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: -9.5 + -3.5 = -13 k = -13 Simplifying k = -13

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. k = {6, -13}
