Solution for 0.5(x+1+x+2)x=10 equation:


Simplifying
0.5(x + 1 + x + 2) * x = 10

Reorder the terms:
0.5(1 + 2 + x + x) * x = 10

Combine like terms: 1 + 2 = 3
0.5(3 + x + x) * x = 10

Combine like terms: x + x = 2x
0.5(3 + 2x) * x = 10

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
0.5x(3 + 2x) = 10
(3 * 0.5x + 2x * 0.5x) = 10
(1.5x + 1x2) = 10

Solving
1.5x + 1x2 = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 1.5x + 1x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-10 + 1.5x + 1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 1.5x + 10 + x2 = 0 + 10

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 10 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 10
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
1.5x + x2 = 10

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 10 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 10 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 10 + 0.5625 = 10.5625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 10.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.75)(x + 0.75) = 10.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.75) equal to 3.25 and -3.25.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.75 = 3.25 Simplifying x + 0.75 = 3.25 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + x = 3.25 Solving 0.75 + x = 3.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.75' to each side of the equation. 0.75 + -0.75 + x = 3.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 3.25 + -0.75 x = 3.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 3.25 + -0.75 = 2.5 x = 2.5 Simplifying x = 2.5

Subproblem 2

x + 0.75 = -3.25 Simplifying x + 0.75 = -3.25 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + x = -3.25 Solving 0.75 + x = -3.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.75' to each side of the equation. 0.75 + -0.75 + x = -3.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -3.25 + -0.75 x = -3.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: -3.25 + -0.75 = -4 x = -4 Simplifying x = -4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2.5, -4}
