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


Simplifying
(2x + 5)(x + -1) = x2

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(x + -1) = x2

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(-1 + x) = x2

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

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

Solving
-5 + 3x + 2x2 = x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-5 + 3x + 1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 3x + 5 + x2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 5
3x + x2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
3x + x2 = 5

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 5 + 2.25 = 7.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 7.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 7.25
