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


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

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

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

Remove parenthesis around (-2 + x)
-2x + x2 = x + -2 + x

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

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

Solving
-2x + x2 = -2 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Combine like terms: -2x + -2x = -4x
2 + -4x + x2 = -2 + 2x + 2 + -2x

Reorder the terms:
2 + -4x + x2 = -2 + 2 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
2 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 2x + -2x
2 + -4x + x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
2 + -4x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -4x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -2
-4x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-4x + x2 = -2

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 = -2 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4x + x2 = -2 + 4

Combine like terms: -2 + 4 = 2
4 + -4x + x2 = 2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2)(x + -2) = 2

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.414213562
