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


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

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

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

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

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

Reorder the terms:
2 + -3x + x2 = 2x(1 + x)
2 + -3x + x2 = (1 * 2x + x * 2x)
2 + -3x + x2 = (2x + 2x2)

Solving
2 + -3x + x2 = 2x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Combine like terms: -3x + -2x = -5x
2 + -5x + x2 + -2x2 = 2x + 2x2 + -2x + -2x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -2x2 = -1x2
2 + -5x + -1x2 = 2x + 2x2 + -2x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -5x + -1x2 = 2x + -2x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
2 + -5x + -1x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
2 + -5x + -1x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
2 + -5x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-2 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 5x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 2
5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
5x + x2 = 2

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5x + 6.25 + x2 = 2 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 2 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 2 + 6.25 = 8.25
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 2.5)(x + 2.5) = 8.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.872281323

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 2.5) equal to 2.872281323 and -2.872281323.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.5 = 2.872281323 Simplifying x + 2.5 = 2.872281323 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = 2.872281323 Solving 2.5 + x = 2.872281323 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = 2.872281323 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 2.872281323 + -2.5 x = 2.872281323 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.872281323 + -2.5 = 0.372281323 x = 0.372281323 Simplifying x = 0.372281323

Subproblem 2

x + 2.5 = -2.872281323 Simplifying x + 2.5 = -2.872281323 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = -2.872281323 Solving 2.5 + x = -2.872281323 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = -2.872281323 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -2.872281323 + -2.5 x = -2.872281323 + -2.5 Combine like terms: -2.872281323 + -2.5 = -5.372281323 x = -5.372281323 Simplifying x = -5.372281323
