Solution for (3.5-x)(0.1x+2.3)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(3.5 + -1x)(0.1x + 2.3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(3.5 + -1x)(2.3 + 0.1x) = 0

Multiply (3.5 + -1x) * (2.3 + 0.1x)
(3.5(2.3 + 0.1x) + -1x * (2.3 + 0.1x)) = 0
((2.3 * 3.5 + 0.1x * 3.5) + -1x * (2.3 + 0.1x)) = 0
((8.05 + 0.35x) + -1x * (2.3 + 0.1x)) = 0
(8.05 + 0.35x + (2.3 * -1x + 0.1x * -1x)) = 0
(8.05 + 0.35x + (-2.3x + -0.1x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 0.35x + -2.3x = -1.95x
(8.05 + -1.95x + -0.1x2) = 0

Solving
8.05 + -1.95x + -0.1x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.1'.
-80.5 + 19.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '80.5' to each side of the equation.
-80.5 + 19.5x + 80.5 + x2 = 0 + 80.5

Reorder the terms:
-80.5 + 80.5 + 19.5x + x2 = 0 + 80.5

Combine like terms: -80.5 + 80.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 19.5x + x2 = 0 + 80.5
19.5x + x2 = 0 + 80.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 80.5 = 80.5
19.5x + x2 = 80.5

The x term is 19.5x.  Take half its coefficient (9.75).
Square it (95.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '95.0625' to each side of the equation.
19.5x + 95.0625 + x2 = 80.5 + 95.0625

Reorder the terms:
95.0625 + 19.5x + x2 = 80.5 + 95.0625

Combine like terms: 80.5 + 95.0625 = 175.5625
95.0625 + 19.5x + x2 = 175.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 9.75)(x + 9.75) = 175.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 13.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 9.75) equal to 13.25 and -13.25.

Subproblem 1

x + 9.75 = 13.25 Simplifying x + 9.75 = 13.25 Reorder the terms: 9.75 + x = 13.25 Solving 9.75 + x = 13.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9.75' to each side of the equation. 9.75 + -9.75 + x = 13.25 + -9.75 Combine like terms: 9.75 + -9.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 13.25 + -9.75 x = 13.25 + -9.75 Combine like terms: 13.25 + -9.75 = 3.5 x = 3.5 Simplifying x = 3.5

Subproblem 2

x + 9.75 = -13.25 Simplifying x + 9.75 = -13.25 Reorder the terms: 9.75 + x = -13.25 Solving 9.75 + x = -13.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9.75' to each side of the equation. 9.75 + -9.75 + x = -13.25 + -9.75 Combine like terms: 9.75 + -9.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -13.25 + -9.75 x = -13.25 + -9.75 Combine like terms: -13.25 + -9.75 = -23 x = -23 Simplifying x = -23

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.5, -23}
