Solution for (x+0.8)(x+1.4)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 0.8)(x + 1.4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(0.8 + x)(x + 1.4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(0.8 + x)(1.4 + x) = 0

Multiply (0.8 + x) * (1.4 + x)
(0.8(1.4 + x) + x(1.4 + x)) = 0
((1.4 * 0.8 + x * 0.8) + x(1.4 + x)) = 0
((1.12 + 0.8x) + x(1.4 + x)) = 0
(1.12 + 0.8x + (1.4 * x + x * x)) = 0
(1.12 + 0.8x + (1.4x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 0.8x + 1.4x = 2.2x
(1.12 + 2.2x + x2) = 0

Solving
1.12 + 2.2x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.12' to each side of the equation.
1.12 + 2.2x + -1.12 + x2 = 0 + -1.12

Reorder the terms:
1.12 + -1.12 + 2.2x + x2 = 0 + -1.12

Combine like terms: 1.12 + -1.12 = 0.00
0.00 + 2.2x + x2 = 0 + -1.12
2.2x + x2 = 0 + -1.12

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.12 = -1.12
2.2x + x2 = -1.12

The x term is 2.2x.  Take half its coefficient (1.1).
Square it (1.21) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.21' to each side of the equation.
2.2x + 1.21 + x2 = -1.12 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + 2.2x + x2 = -1.12 + 1.21

Combine like terms: -1.12 + 1.21 = 0.09
1.21 + 2.2x + x2 = 0.09

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.1)(x + 1.1) = 0.09

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.3

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.1) equal to 0.3 and -0.3.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.1 = 0.3 Simplifying x + 1.1 = 0.3 Reorder the terms: 1.1 + x = 0.3 Solving 1.1 + x = 0.3 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.1' to each side of the equation. 1.1 + -1.1 + x = 0.3 + -1.1 Combine like terms: 1.1 + -1.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.3 + -1.1 x = 0.3 + -1.1 Combine like terms: 0.3 + -1.1 = -0.8 x = -0.8 Simplifying x = -0.8

Subproblem 2

x + 1.1 = -0.3 Simplifying x + 1.1 = -0.3 Reorder the terms: 1.1 + x = -0.3 Solving 1.1 + x = -0.3 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.1' to each side of the equation. 1.1 + -1.1 + x = -0.3 + -1.1 Combine like terms: 1.1 + -1.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.3 + -1.1 x = -0.3 + -1.1 Combine like terms: -0.3 + -1.1 = -1.4 x = -1.4 Simplifying x = -1.4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-0.8, -1.4}
