Solution for (x+4)(x-3)=16 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + -3) = 16

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + -3) = 16

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(-3 + x) = 16

Multiply (4 + x) * (-3 + x)
(4(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x)) = 16
((-3 * 4 + x * 4) + x(-3 + x)) = 16
((-12 + 4x) + x(-3 + x)) = 16
(-12 + 4x + (-3 * x + x * x)) = 16
(-12 + 4x + (-3x + x2)) = 16

Combine like terms: 4x + -3x = 1x
(-12 + 1x + x2) = 16

Solving
-12 + 1x + x2 = 16

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + -16 + 1x + x2 = 16 + -16

Combine like terms: -12 + -16 = -28
-28 + 1x + x2 = 16 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
-28 + 1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '28' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 1x + 28 + x2 = 0 + 28

Reorder the terms:
-28 + 28 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0
0 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 28
1x + x2 = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28
1x + x2 = 28

The x term is 1x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
x + 0.25 + x2 = 28 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = 28 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 28 + 0.25 = 28.25
0.25 + x + x2 = 28.25
