Solution for (2x-1)(x+5)=10 equation:


Simplifying
(2x + -1)(x + 5) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 2x)(x + 5) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 2x)(5 + x) = 10

Multiply (-1 + 2x) * (5 + x)
(-1(5 + x) + 2x * (5 + x)) = 10
((5 * -1 + x * -1) + 2x * (5 + x)) = 10
((-5 + -1x) + 2x * (5 + x)) = 10
(-5 + -1x + (5 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 10
(-5 + -1x + (10x + 2x2)) = 10

Combine like terms: -1x + 10x = 9x
(-5 + 9x + 2x2) = 10

Solving
-5 + 9x + 2x2 = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-5 + -10 + 9x + 2x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: -5 + -10 = -15
-15 + 9x + 2x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-15 + 9x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-7.5 + 4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + 4.5x + 7.5 + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5
4.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
4.5x + x2 = 7.5

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 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + 4.5x + x2 = 7.5 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 5.0625 = 12.5625
5.0625 + 4.5x + x2 = 12.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 2.25)(x + 2.25) = 12.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.54436172
