Solution for (7-x)*(3.5-x)=18.4 equation:


Simplifying
(7 + -1x)(3.5 + -1x) = 18.4

Multiply (7 + -1x) * (3.5 + -1x)
(7(3.5 + -1x) + -1x * (3.5 + -1x)) = 18.4
((3.5 * 7 + -1x * 7) + -1x * (3.5 + -1x)) = 18.4
((24.5 + -7x) + -1x * (3.5 + -1x)) = 18.4
(24.5 + -7x + (3.5 * -1x + -1x * -1x)) = 18.4
(24.5 + -7x + (-3.5x + 1x2)) = 18.4

Combine like terms: -7x + -3.5x = -10.5x
(24.5 + -10.5x + 1x2) = 18.4

Solving
24.5 + -10.5x + 1x2 = 18.4

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
24.5 + -18.4 + -10.5x + 1x2 = 18.4 + -18.4

Combine like terms: 24.5 + -18.4 = 6.1
6.1 + -10.5x + 1x2 = 18.4 + -18.4

Combine like terms: 18.4 + -18.4 = 0.0
6.1 + -10.5x + 1x2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-6.1' to each side of the equation.
6.1 + -10.5x + -6.1 + x2 = 0.0 + -6.1

Reorder the terms:
6.1 + -6.1 + -10.5x + x2 = 0.0 + -6.1

Combine like terms: 6.1 + -6.1 = 0.0
0.0 + -10.5x + x2 = 0.0 + -6.1
-10.5x + x2 = 0.0 + -6.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -6.1 = -6.1
-10.5x + x2 = -6.1

The x term is -10.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-5.25).
Square it (27.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '27.5625' to each side of the equation.
-10.5x + 27.5625 + x2 = -6.1 + 27.5625

Reorder the terms:
27.5625 + -10.5x + x2 = -6.1 + 27.5625
