Solution for (2x+1)(x+1)=42 equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + 1) = 42

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + 1) = 42

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(1 + x) = 42

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (1 + x)
(1(1 + x) + 2x * (1 + x)) = 42
((1 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (1 + x)) = 42
((1 + 1x) + 2x * (1 + x)) = 42
(1 + 1x + (1 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 42
(1 + 1x + (2x + 2x2)) = 42

Combine like terms: 1x + 2x = 3x
(1 + 3x + 2x2) = 42

Solving
1 + 3x + 2x2 = 42

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
1 + -42 + 3x + 2x2 = 42 + -42

Combine like terms: 1 + -42 = -41
-41 + 3x + 2x2 = 42 + -42

Combine like terms: 42 + -42 = 0
-41 + 3x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-20.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20.5' to each side of the equation.
-20.5 + 1.5x + 20.5 + x2 = 0 + 20.5

Reorder the terms:
-20.5 + 20.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 20.5

Combine like terms: -20.5 + 20.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 20.5
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 20.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 20.5 = 20.5
1.5x + x2 = 20.5

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 20.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 20.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 20.5 + 0.5625 = 21.0625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 21.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.75)(x + 0.75) = 21.0625
