Solution for 2=x(x-2) equation:


Simplifying
2 = x(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
2 = x(-2 + x)
2 = (-2 * x + x * x)
2 = (-2x + x2)

Solving
2 = -2x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + 2x + -1x2 = -2x + 2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
2 + 2x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
2 + 2x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
2 + 2x + -1x2 = 0

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

-2 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -2x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 2
-2x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-2x + x2 = 2

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2x + 1 + x2 = 2 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2x + x2 = 2 + 1

Combine like terms: 2 + 1 = 3
1 + -2x + x2 = 3

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1)(x + -1) = 3
