Solution for (2x+5)(x-1)=120 equation:


Simplifying
(2x + 5)(x + -1) = 120

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(x + -1) = 120

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(-1 + x) = 120

Multiply (5 + 2x) * (-1 + x)
(5(-1 + x) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 120
((-1 * 5 + x * 5) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 120
((-5 + 5x) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 120
(-5 + 5x + (-1 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 120
(-5 + 5x + (-2x + 2x2)) = 120

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x
(-5 + 3x + 2x2) = 120

Solving
-5 + 3x + 2x2 = 120

Solving for variable 'x'.

-125 + 3x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-62.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '62.5' to each side of the equation.
-62.5 + 1.5x + 62.5 + x2 = 0 + 62.5

Reorder the terms:
-62.5 + 62.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 62.5

Combine like terms: -62.5 + 62.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 62.5
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 62.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 62.5 = 62.5
1.5x + x2 = 62.5

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 = 62.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 62.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 62.5 + 0.5625 = 63.0625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 63.0625
