Reorder the terms:
1500 + -1500 + -80x + x2 = 0 + -1500

Combine like terms: 1500 + -1500 = 0
0 + -80x + x2 = 0 + -1500
-80x + x2 = 0 + -1500

Combine like terms: 0 + -1500 = -1500
-80x + x2 = -1500

The x term is -80x.  Take half its coefficient (-40).
Square it (1600) and add it to both sides.

Add '1600' to each side of the equation.
-80x + 1600 + x2 = -1500 + 1600

Reorder the terms:
1600 + -80x + x2 = -1500 + 1600

Combine like terms: -1500 + 1600 = 100
1600 + -80x + x2 = 100

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -40)(x + -40) = 100

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -40) equal to 10 and -10.

Subproblem 1

x + -40 = 10 Simplifying x + -40 = 10 Reorder the terms: -40 + x = 10 Solving -40 + x = 10 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '40' to each side of the equation. -40 + 40 + x = 10 + 40 Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0 0 + x = 10 + 40 x = 10 + 40 Combine like terms: 10 + 40 = 50 x = 50 Simplifying x = 50

Subproblem 2

x + -40 = -10 Simplifying x + -40 = -10 Reorder the terms: -40 + x = -10 Solving -40 + x = -10 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '40' to each side of the equation. -40 + 40 + x = -10 + 40 Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0 0 + x = -10 + 40 x = -10 + 40 Combine like terms: -10 + 40 = 30 x = 30 Simplifying x = 30

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {50, 30}
