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


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

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

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

Solving
3 + x = -1x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: x + x = 2x
3 + 2x + -1x2 = -1x + x2 + x + -1x2

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(3 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -1x = 0 Solving 3 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -1x = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -3 -1x = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -1x = -3 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + x = 0 Solving 1 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -1 x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 x = -1 Simplifying x = -1

Solution

x = {3, -1}
