Solution for (x+10)(x-2)=(x+2) equation:


Simplifying
(x + 10)(x + -2) = (x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
(10 + x)(x + -2) = (x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
(10 + x)(-2 + x) = (x + 2)

Multiply (10 + x) * (-2 + x)
(10(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + 2)
((-2 * 10 + x * 10) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + 2)
((-20 + 10x) + x(-2 + x)) = (x + 2)
(-20 + 10x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = (x + 2)
(-20 + 10x + (-2x + x2)) = (x + 2)

Combine like terms: 10x + -2x = 8x
(-20 + 8x + x2) = (x + 2)

-20 + 8x + x2 = (2 + x)

Remove parenthesis around (2 + x)
-20 + 8x + x2 = 2 + x

Solving
-20 + 8x + x2 = 2 + x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + -2 + 8x + -1x + x2 = 2 + x + -2 + -1x

Combine like terms: -20 + -2 = -22
-22 + 8x + -1x + x2 = 2 + x + -2 + -1x

Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x
-22 + 7x + x2 = 2 + x + -2 + -1x

Reorder the terms:
-22 + 7x + x2 = 2 + -2 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-22 + 7x + x2 = 0 + x + -1x
-22 + 7x + x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-22 + 7x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '22' to each side of the equation.
-22 + 7x + 22 + x2 = 0 + 22

Reorder the terms:
-22 + 22 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 22

Combine like terms: -22 + 22 = 0
0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 22
7x + x2 = 0 + 22

Combine like terms: 0 + 22 = 22
7x + x2 = 22

The x term is 7x.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7x + 12.25 + x2 = 22 + 12.25
