Solution for x(1-x)=0.24 equation:


Simplifying
x(1 + -1x) = 0.24
(1 * x + -1x * x) = 0.24
(1x + -1x2) = 0.24

Solving
1x + -1x2 = 0.24

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-0.24 + 1x + -1x2 = 0.24 + -0.24

Combine like terms: 0.24 + -0.24 = 0.00
-0.24 + 1x + -1x2 = 0.00

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
0.24 + -1x + x2 = 0.00

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.24' to each side of the equation.
0.24 + -1x + -0.24 + x2 = 0.00 + -0.24

Reorder the terms:
0.24 + -0.24 + -1x + x2 = 0.00 + -0.24

Combine like terms: 0.24 + -0.24 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0.00 + -0.24
-1x + x2 = 0.00 + -0.24

Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.24 = -0.24
-1x + x2 = -0.24

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 = -0.24 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = -0.24 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.24 + 0.25 = 0.01
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.01

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 0.01

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.1

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 0.1 and -0.1.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 0.1 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 0.1 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 0.1 Solving -0.5 + x = 0.1 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 = 0.1 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.1 + 0.5 x = 0.1 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 0.1 + 0.5 = 0.6 x = 0.6 Simplifying x = 0.6

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -0.1 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -0.1 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -0.1 Solving -0.5 + x = -0.1 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 = -0.1 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.1 + 0.5 x = -0.1 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.5 = 0.4 x = 0.4 Simplifying x = 0.4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.6, 0.4}
