Solution for (x-3)(x+11)=31 equation:


Simplifying
(x + -3)(x + 11) = 31

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(x + 11) = 31

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(11 + x) = 31

Multiply (-3 + x) * (11 + x)
(-3(11 + x) + x(11 + x)) = 31
((11 * -3 + x * -3) + x(11 + x)) = 31
((-33 + -3x) + x(11 + x)) = 31
(-33 + -3x + (11 * x + x * x)) = 31
(-33 + -3x + (11x + x2)) = 31

Combine like terms: -3x + 11x = 8x
(-33 + 8x + x2) = 31

Solving
-33 + 8x + x2 = 31

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-33 + -31 + 8x + x2 = 31 + -31

Combine like terms: -33 + -31 = -64
-64 + 8x + x2 = 31 + -31

Combine like terms: 31 + -31 = 0
-64 + 8x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '64' to each side of the equation.
-64 + 8x + 64 + x2 = 0 + 64

Reorder the terms:
-64 + 64 + 8x + x2 = 0 + 64

Combine like terms: -64 + 64 = 0
0 + 8x + x2 = 0 + 64
8x + x2 = 0 + 64

Combine like terms: 0 + 64 = 64
8x + x2 = 64

The x term is 8x.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8x + 16 + x2 = 64 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + 8x + x2 = 64 + 16

Combine like terms: 64 + 16 = 80
16 + 8x + x2 = 80
