Solution for (x-0.8)(x+2)= equation:


Simplifying
(x + -0.8)(x + 2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-0.8 + x)(x + 2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-0.8 + x)(2 + x) = 0

Multiply (-0.8 + x) * (2 + x)
(-0.8(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 0
((2 * -0.8 + x * -0.8) + x(2 + x)) = 0
((-1.6 + -0.8x) + x(2 + x)) = 0
(-1.6 + -0.8x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-1.6 + -0.8x + (2x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.8x + 2x = 1.2x
(-1.6 + 1.2x + x2) = 0

Solving
-1.6 + 1.2x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 1.2x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
1.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
1.2x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is 1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.36 = 1.96
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 1.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.6)(x + 0.6) = 1.96

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.4

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.6) equal to 1.4 and -1.4.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.6 = 1.4 Simplifying x + 0.6 = 1.4 Reorder the terms: 0.6 + x = 1.4 Solving 0.6 + x = 1.4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation. 0.6 + -0.6 + x = 1.4 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.4 + -0.6 x = 1.4 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 1.4 + -0.6 = 0.8 x = 0.8 Simplifying x = 0.8

Subproblem 2

x + 0.6 = -1.4 Simplifying x + 0.6 = -1.4 Reorder the terms: 0.6 + x = -1.4 Solving 0.6 + x = -1.4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation. 0.6 + -0.6 + x = -1.4 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.4 + -0.6 x = -1.4 + -0.6 Combine like terms: -1.4 + -0.6 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.8, -2}
