Solution for (2.5x-5)(x-9)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(2.5x + -5)(x + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + 2.5x)(x + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + 2.5x)(-9 + x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + 2.5x) * (-9 + x)
(-5(-9 + x) + 2.5x * (-9 + x)) = 0
((-9 * -5 + x * -5) + 2.5x * (-9 + x)) = 0
((45 + -5x) + 2.5x * (-9 + x)) = 0
(45 + -5x + (-9 * 2.5x + x * 2.5x)) = 0
(45 + -5x + (-22.5x + 2.5x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5x + -22.5x = -27.5x
(45 + -27.5x + 2.5x2) = 0

Solving
45 + -27.5x + 2.5x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2.5'.
18 + -11x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-18' to each side of the equation.
18 + -11x + -18 + x2 = 0 + -18

Reorder the terms:
18 + -18 + -11x + x2 = 0 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
0 + -11x + x2 = 0 + -18
-11x + x2 = 0 + -18

Combine like terms: 0 + -18 = -18
-11x + x2 = -18

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 = -18 + 30.25

Reorder the terms:
30.25 + -11x + x2 = -18 + 30.25

Combine like terms: -18 + 30.25 = 12.25
30.25 + -11x + x2 = 12.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -5.5)(x + -5.5) = 12.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -5.5) equal to 3.5 and -3.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -5.5 = 3.5 Simplifying x + -5.5 = 3.5 Reorder the terms: -5.5 + x = 3.5 Solving -5.5 + x = 3.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5.5' to each side of the equation. -5.5 + 5.5 + x = 3.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 3.5 + 5.5 x = 3.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + 5.5 = 9 x = 9 Simplifying x = 9

Subproblem 2

x + -5.5 = -3.5 Simplifying x + -5.5 = -3.5 Reorder the terms: -5.5 + x = -3.5 Solving -5.5 + x = -3.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5.5' to each side of the equation. -5.5 + 5.5 + x = -3.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -3.5 + 5.5 x = -3.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: -3.5 + 5.5 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {9, 2}
