Solution for (x+1)(x+2)=120 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 1)(x + 2) = 120

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x + 2) = 120

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(2 + x) = 120

Multiply (1 + x) * (2 + x)
(1(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 120
((2 * 1 + x * 1) + x(2 + x)) = 120
((2 + 1x) + x(2 + x)) = 120
(2 + 1x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 120
(2 + 1x + (2x + x2)) = 120

Combine like terms: 1x + 2x = 3x
(2 + 3x + x2) = 120

Solving
2 + 3x + x2 = 120

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + -120 + 3x + x2 = 120 + -120

Combine like terms: 2 + -120 = -118
-118 + 3x + x2 = 120 + -120

Combine like terms: 120 + -120 = 0
-118 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '118' to each side of the equation.
-118 + 3x + 118 + x2 = 0 + 118

Reorder the terms:
-118 + 118 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 118

Combine like terms: -118 + 118 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 118
3x + x2 = 0 + 118

Combine like terms: 0 + 118 = 118
3x + x2 = 118

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 118 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 118 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 118 + 2.25 = 120.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 120.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 120.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.5) equal to 10.9658561 and -10.9658561.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.5 = 10.9658561 Simplifying x + 1.5 = 10.9658561 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + x = 10.9658561 Solving 1.5 + x = 10.9658561 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + x = 10.9658561 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 10.9658561 + -1.5 x = 10.9658561 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 10.9658561 + -1.5 = 9.4658561 x = 9.4658561 Simplifying x = 9.4658561

Subproblem 2

x + 1.5 = -10.9658561 Simplifying x + 1.5 = -10.9658561 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + x = -10.9658561 Solving 1.5 + x = -10.9658561 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + x = -10.9658561 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -10.9658561 + -1.5 x = -10.9658561 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -10.9658561 + -1.5 = -12.4658561 x = -12.4658561 Simplifying x = -12.4658561

Solution
