Solution for x=1.05(x-1.5)(x+1.2) equation:


Simplifying
x = 1.05(x + -1.5)(x + 1.2)

Reorder the terms:
x = 1.05(-1.5 + x)(x + 1.2)

Reorder the terms:
x = 1.05(-1.5 + x)(1.2 + x)

Multiply (-1.5 + x) * (1.2 + x)
x = 1.05(-1.5(1.2 + x) + x(1.2 + x))
x = 1.05((1.2 * -1.5 + x * -1.5) + x(1.2 + x))
x = 1.05((-1.8 + -1.5x) + x(1.2 + x))
x = 1.05(-1.8 + -1.5x + (1.2 * x + x * x))
x = 1.05(-1.8 + -1.5x + (1.2x + x2))

Combine like terms: -1.5x + 1.2x = -0.3x
x = 1.05(-1.8 + -0.3x + x2)
x = (-1.8 * 1.05 + -0.3x * 1.05 + x2 * 1.05)
x = (-1.89 + -0.315x + 1.05x2)

Solving
x = -1.89 + -0.315x + 1.05x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
1.89 + x + 0.315x + -1.05x2 = -1.89 + -0.315x + 1.05x2 + 1.89 + 0.315x + -1.05x2

Combine like terms: x + 0.315x = 1.315x
1.89 + 1.315x + -1.05x2 = -1.89 + -0.315x + 1.05x2 + 1.89 + 0.315x + -1.05x2
