Solution for x(x+1)=0.5 equation:


Simplifying
x(x + 1) = 0.5

Reorder the terms:
x(1 + x) = 0.5
(1 * x + x * x) = 0.5
(1x + x2) = 0.5

Solving
1x + x2 = 0.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 1x + x2 = 0.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
-0.5 + 1x + x2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 1x + 0.5 + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 1x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5
1x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.5 = 0.5
1x + x2 = 0.5

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.
x + 0.25 + x2 = 0.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = 0.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75
0.25 + x + x2 = 0.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 0.75
