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


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

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

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

Multiply (2 + x) * (-2 + x)
x = (2(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x))
x = ((-2 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-2 + x))
x = ((-4 + 2x) + x(-2 + x))
x = (-4 + 2x + (-2 * x + x * x))
x = (-4 + 2x + (-2x + x2))

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

Solving
x = -4 + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
4 + x + -1x2 = -4 + x2 + 4 + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
4 + x + -1x2 = -4 + 4 + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
4 + x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
4 + x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
4 + x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-4 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4
-1x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-1x + x2 = 4

The x term is x.  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 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 2.061552813 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 2.061552813 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 2.061552813 Solving 0.5 + x = 2.061552813 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 = 2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 2.061552813 + -0.5 x = 2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 2.061552813 + -0.5 = 1.561552813 x = 1.561552813 Simplifying x = 1.561552813

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -2.061552813 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -2.061552813 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -2.061552813 Solving 0.5 + x = -2.061552813 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 = -2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -2.061552813 + -0.5 x = -2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -2.061552813 + -0.5 = -2.561552813 x = -2.561552813 Simplifying x = -2.561552813
