Solution for 1=x(x+1) equation:


Simplifying
1 = x(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
1 = x(1 + x)
1 = (1 * x + x * x)
1 = (1x + x2)

Solving
1 = 1x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

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

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-1 + x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + x + x2 = 0 + 1

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

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
x + x2 = 1

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + x2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 1.118033989 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 1.118033989 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 1.118033989 Solving 0.5 + x = 1.118033989 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.118033989 + -0.5 x = 1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + -0.5 = 0.618033989 x = 0.618033989 Simplifying x = 0.618033989

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -1.118033989 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -1.118033989 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -1.118033989 Solving 0.5 + x = -1.118033989 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = -1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.118033989 + -0.5 x = -1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + -0.5 = -1.618033989 x = -1.618033989 Simplifying x = -1.618033989
