Solution for 0.5*x*(x-3)=54 equation: 


Simplifying
0.5x(x + -3) = 54

Reorder the terms:
0.5x(-3 + x) = 54
(-3 * 0.5x + x * 0.5x) = 54
(-1.5x + 0.5x2) = 54

Solving
-1.5x + 0.5x2 = 54

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-54 + -1.5x + 0.5x2 = 54 + -54

Combine like terms: 54 + -54 = 0
-54 + -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'.
-108 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '108' to each side of the equation.
-108 + -3x + 108 + x2 = 0 + 108

Reorder the terms:
-108 + 108 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 108

Combine like terms: -108 + 108 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 108
-3x + x2 = 0 + 108

Combine like terms: 0 + 108 = 108
-3x + x2 = 108

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 = 108 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 108 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 108 + 2.25 = 110.25
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 110.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 110.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.5

-1.5 + 1.5 + x = 10.5 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 10.5 + 1.5
x = 10.5 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 10.5 + 1.5 = 12
x = 12

Simplifying
x = 12


Subproblem 2
x + -1.5 = -10.5

Simplifying
x + -1.5 = -10.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + x = -10.5

Solving
-1.5 + x = -10.5

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 = -10.5 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -10.5 + 1.5
x = -10.5 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 1.5 = -9
x = -9

Simplifying
x = -9


Solution
