Solution for 20=0.5*(X+4)*X equation:


Simplifying
20 = 0.5(X + 4) * X

Reorder the terms:
20 = 0.5(4 + X) * X

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
20 = 0.5X(4 + X)
20 = (4 * 0.5X + X * 0.5X)
20 = (2X + 0.5X2)

Solving
20 = 2X + 0.5X2

Solving for variable 'X'.

Reorder the terms:
20 + -2X + -0.5X2 = 2X + -2X + 0.5X2 + -0.5X2

Combine like terms: 2X + -2X = 0
20 + -2X + -0.5X2 = 0 + 0.5X2 + -0.5X2
20 + -2X + -0.5X2 = 0.5X2 + -0.5X2

Combine like terms: 0.5X2 + -0.5X2 = 0.0
20 + -2X + -0.5X2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-40 + 4X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '40' to each side of the equation.
-40 + 4X + 40 + X2 = 0 + 40

Reorder the terms:
-40 + 40 + 4X + X2 = 0 + 40

Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0
0 + 4X + X2 = 0 + 40
4X + X2 = 0 + 40

Combine like terms: 0 + 40 = 40
4X + X2 = 40

The X term is 4X.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4X + 4 + X2 = 40 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4X + X2 = 40 + 4

Combine like terms: 40 + 4 = 44
4 + 4X + X2 = 44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(X + 2)(X + 2) = 44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.633249581
