Solution for 2x(x-1)=3 equation:


Simplifying
2x(x + -1) = 3

Reorder the terms:
2x(-1 + x) = 3
(-1 * 2x + x * 2x) = 3
(-2x + 2x2) = 3

Solving
-2x + 2x2 = 3

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -2x + 2x2 = 3 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
-3 + -2x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -1x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

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

The x term is -1x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 1.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 0.25 = 1.75
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 1.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656
