Solution for (2x+1)*(x-8)=8 equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + -8) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + -8) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(-8 + x) = 8

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-8 + x)
(1(-8 + x) + 2x * (-8 + x)) = 8
((-8 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-8 + x)) = 8
((-8 + 1x) + 2x * (-8 + x)) = 8
(-8 + 1x + (-8 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 8
(-8 + 1x + (-16x + 2x2)) = 8

Combine like terms: 1x + -16x = -15x
(-8 + -15x + 2x2) = 8

Solving
-8 + -15x + 2x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-8 + -8 + -15x + 2x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: -8 + -8 = -16
-16 + -15x + 2x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-16 + -15x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-8 + -7.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + -7.5x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + -7.5x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + -7.5x + x2 = 0 + 8
-7.5x + x2 = 0 + 8
