Solution for (x-.3)(x+.5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(x + -0.3)(x + 0.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-0.3 + x)(x + 0.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-0.3 + x)(0.5 + x) = 0

Multiply (-0.3 + x) * (0.5 + x)
(-0.3(0.5 + x) + x(0.5 + x)) = 0
((0.5 * -0.3 + x * -0.3) + x(0.5 + x)) = 0
((-0.15 + -0.3x) + x(0.5 + x)) = 0
(-0.15 + -0.3x + (0.5 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-0.15 + -0.3x + (0.5x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.3x + 0.5x = 0.2x
(-0.15 + 0.2x + x2) = 0

Solving
-0.15 + 0.2x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.15' to each side of the equation.
-0.15 + 0.2x + 0.15 + x2 = 0 + 0.15

Reorder the terms:
-0.15 + 0.15 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.15

Combine like terms: -0.15 + 0.15 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.15
0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.15

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.15 = 0.15
0.2x + x2 = 0.15

The x term is 0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 0.15 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.15 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.15 + 0.01 = 0.16
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.1)(x + 0.1) = 0.16

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.4

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.1) equal to 0.4 and -0.4.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.1 = 0.4 Simplifying x + 0.1 = 0.4 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = 0.4 Solving 0.1 + x = 0.4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = 0.4 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.4 + -0.1 x = 0.4 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.1 = 0.3 x = 0.3 Simplifying x = 0.3

Subproblem 2

x + 0.1 = -0.4 Simplifying x + 0.1 = -0.4 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = -0.4 Solving 0.1 + x = -0.4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = -0.4 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.4 + -0.1 x = -0.4 + -0.1 Combine like terms: -0.4 + -0.1 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.3, -0.5}
