Solution for (x+0.3)(x+1.6)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 0.3)(x + 1.6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(0.3 + x)(x + 1.6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(0.3 + x)(1.6 + x) = 0

Multiply (0.3 + x) * (1.6 + x)
(0.3(1.6 + x) + x(1.6 + x)) = 0
((1.6 * 0.3 + x * 0.3) + x(1.6 + x)) = 0
((0.48 + 0.3x) + x(1.6 + x)) = 0
(0.48 + 0.3x + (1.6 * x + x * x)) = 0
(0.48 + 0.3x + (1.6x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 0.3x + 1.6x = 1.9x
(0.48 + 1.9x + x2) = 0

Solving
0.48 + 1.9x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.48' to each side of the equation.
0.48 + 1.9x + -0.48 + x2 = 0 + -0.48

Reorder the terms:
0.48 + -0.48 + 1.9x + x2 = 0 + -0.48

Combine like terms: 0.48 + -0.48 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.9x + x2 = 0 + -0.48
1.9x + x2 = 0 + -0.48

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.48 = -0.48
1.9x + x2 = -0.48

The x term is 1.9x.  Take half its coefficient (0.95).
Square it (0.9025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.9025' to each side of the equation.
1.9x + 0.9025 + x2 = -0.48 + 0.9025

Reorder the terms:
0.9025 + 1.9x + x2 = -0.48 + 0.9025

Combine like terms: -0.48 + 0.9025 = 0.4225
0.9025 + 1.9x + x2 = 0.4225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.95)(x + 0.95) = 0.4225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.65

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.95) equal to 0.65 and -0.65.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.95 = 0.65 Simplifying x + 0.95 = 0.65 Reorder the terms: 0.95 + x = 0.65 Solving 0.95 + x = 0.65 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.95' to each side of the equation. 0.95 + -0.95 + x = 0.65 + -0.95 Combine like terms: 0.95 + -0.95 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.65 + -0.95 x = 0.65 + -0.95 Combine like terms: 0.65 + -0.95 = -0.3 x = -0.3 Simplifying x = -0.3

Subproblem 2

x + 0.95 = -0.65 Simplifying x + 0.95 = -0.65 Reorder the terms: 0.95 + x = -0.65 Solving 0.95 + x = -0.65 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.95' to each side of the equation. 0.95 + -0.95 + x = -0.65 + -0.95 Combine like terms: 0.95 + -0.95 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.65 + -0.95 x = -0.65 + -0.95 Combine like terms: -0.65 + -0.95 = -1.6 x = -1.6 Simplifying x = -1.6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-0.3, -1.6}
