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


Simplifying
3x = (2x + -1)(x + -2)

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

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

Multiply (-1 + 2x) * (-2 + x)
3x = (-1(-2 + x) + 2x * (-2 + x))
3x = ((-2 * -1 + x * -1) + 2x * (-2 + x))
3x = ((2 + -1x) + 2x * (-2 + x))
3x = (2 + -1x + (-2 * 2x + x * 2x))
3x = (2 + -1x + (-4x + 2x2))

Combine like terms: -1x + -4x = -5x
3x = (2 + -5x + 2x2)

Solving
3x = 2 + -5x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 3x + 5x + -2x2 = 2 + -5x + 2x2 + -2 + 5x + -2x2

Combine like terms: 3x + 5x = 8x
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = 2 + -5x + 2x2 + -2 + 5x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = 2 + -2 + -5x + 5x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = 0 + -5x + 5x + 2x2 + -2x2
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = -5x + 5x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -5x + 5x = 0
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
-2 + 8x + -2x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-1 + 4x + -1x2) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + 4x + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + 4x + -1x2 = 0 Solving -1 + 4x + -1x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -1 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-1'. 1 + -4x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -4x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -1 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -1 -4x + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -4x + x2 = -1 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 = -1 + 4 Reorder the terms: 4 + -4x + x2 = -1 + 4 Combine like terms: -1 + 4 = 3 4 + -4x + x2 = 3 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -2)(x + -2) = 3 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.732050808 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -2) equal to 1.732050808 and -1.732050808.

Subproblem 1

x + -2 = 1.732050808 Simplifying x + -2 = 1.732050808 Reorder the terms: -2 + x = 1.732050808 Solving -2 + x = 1.732050808 Solving for variable 'x'.
