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


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

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

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

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

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

Solving
-5 + 3x + 2x2 = 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 3x + -2x + 2x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x
-5 + 1x + 2x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-5 + 1x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 0.5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
0.5x + x2 = 2.5

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.0625 = 2.5625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 2.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.600781059

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.25) equal to 1.600781059 and -1.600781059.
