Solution for (5x-1)(2x-4)=7x equation:


Simplifying
(5x + -1)(2x + -4) = 7x

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5x)(2x + -4) = 7x

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5x)(-4 + 2x) = 7x

Multiply (-1 + 5x) * (-4 + 2x)
(-1(-4 + 2x) + 5x * (-4 + 2x)) = 7x
((-4 * -1 + 2x * -1) + 5x * (-4 + 2x)) = 7x
((4 + -2x) + 5x * (-4 + 2x)) = 7x
(4 + -2x + (-4 * 5x + 2x * 5x)) = 7x
(4 + -2x + (-20x + 10x2)) = 7x

Combine like terms: -2x + -20x = -22x
(4 + -22x + 10x2) = 7x

Solving
4 + -22x + 10x2 = 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
4 + -22x + -7x + 10x2 = 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: -22x + -7x = -29x
4 + -29x + 10x2 = 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
4 + -29x + 10x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '10'.
0.4 + -2.9x + x2 = 0.0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + -2.9x + -0.4 + x2 = 0.0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + -2.9x + x2 = 0.0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.9x + x2 = 0.0 + -0.4
-2.9x + x2 = 0.0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -0.4 = -0.4
-2.9x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is -2.9x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.45).
Square it (2.1025) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.1025' to each side of the equation.
-2.9x + 2.1025 + x2 = -0.4 + 2.1025

Reorder the terms:
2.1025 + -2.9x + x2 = -0.4 + 2.1025

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 2.1025 = 1.7025
2.1025 + -2.9x + x2 = 1.7025
