Solution for x+16=x(12+x) equation:


Simplifying
x + 16 = x(12 + x)

Reorder the terms:
16 + x = x(12 + x)
16 + x = (12 * x + x * x)
16 + x = (12x + x2)

Solving
16 + x = 12x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: x + -12x = -11x
16 + -11x + -1x2 = 12x + x2 + -12x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
16 + -11x + -1x2 = 12x + -12x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0
16 + -11x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
16 + -11x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
16 + -11x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-16 + 11x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 11x + 16 + x2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + 11x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 11x + x2 = 0 + 16
11x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
11x + x2 = 16

The x term is 11x.  Take half its coefficient (5.5).
Square it (30.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '30.25' to each side of the equation.
11x + 30.25 + x2 = 16 + 30.25

Reorder the terms:
30.25 + 11x + x2 = 16 + 30.25

Combine like terms: 16 + 30.25 = 46.25
30.25 + 11x + x2 = 46.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 5.5)(x + 5.5) = 46.25
