Solution for (2x+1)(x+4)=18 equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + 4) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + 4) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(4 + x) = 18

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (4 + x)
(1(4 + x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 18
((4 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 18
((4 + 1x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 18
(4 + 1x + (4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 18
(4 + 1x + (8x + 2x2)) = 18

Combine like terms: 1x + 8x = 9x
(4 + 9x + 2x2) = 18

Solving
4 + 9x + 2x2 = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
4 + -18 + 9x + 2x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: 4 + -18 = -14
-14 + 9x + 2x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
-14 + 9x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-7 + 4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 4.5x + 7 + x2 = 0 + 7

Reorder the terms:
-7 + 7 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 7
4.5x + x2 = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7
4.5x + x2 = 7

The x term is 4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
4.5x + 5.0625 + x2 = 7 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + 4.5x + x2 = 7 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 7 + 5.0625 = 12.0625
5.0625 + 4.5x + x2 = 12.0625
