Solution for (x-3)=(x+2)(x-2) equation:


Simplifying
(x + -3) = (x + 2)(x + -2)

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

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + x)
-3 + x = (x + 2)(x + -2)

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

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

Multiply (2 + x) * (-2 + x)
-3 + x = (2(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x))
-3 + x = ((-2 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-2 + x))
-3 + x = ((-4 + 2x) + x(-2 + x))
-3 + x = (-4 + 2x + (-2 * x + x * x))
-3 + x = (-4 + 2x + (-2x + x2))

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-3 + x = (-4 + 0 + x2)
-3 + x = (-4 + x2)

Solving
-3 + x = -4 + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 4 + x + -1x2 = -4 + x2 + 4 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -3 + 4 = 1
1 + x + -1x2 = -4 + x2 + 4 + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
1 + x + -1x2 = -4 + 4 + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
1 + x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
1 + x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

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

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The x term is x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 1 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 1.25
