Solution for 0.5(3X+6)(X+4)=120 equation:


Simplifying
0.5(3X + 6)(X + 4) = 120

Reorder the terms:
0.5(6 + 3X)(X + 4) = 120

Reorder the terms:
0.5(6 + 3X)(4 + X) = 120

Multiply (6 + 3X) * (4 + X)
0.5(6(4 + X) + 3X * (4 + X)) = 120
0.5((4 * 6 + X * 6) + 3X * (4 + X)) = 120
0.5((24 + 6X) + 3X * (4 + X)) = 120
0.5(24 + 6X + (4 * 3X + X * 3X)) = 120
0.5(24 + 6X + (12X + 3X2)) = 120

Combine like terms: 6X + 12X = 18X
0.5(24 + 18X + 3X2) = 120
(24 * 0.5 + 18X * 0.5 + 3X2 * 0.5) = 120
(12 + 9X + 1.5X2) = 120

Solving
12 + 9X + 1.5X2 = 120

Solving for variable 'X'.

Reorder the terms:
12 + -120 + 9X + 1.5X2 = 120 + -120

Combine like terms: 12 + -120 = -108
-108 + 9X + 1.5X2 = 120 + -120

Combine like terms: 120 + -120 = 0
-108 + 9X + 1.5X2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '1.5'.
-72 + 6X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '72' to each side of the equation.
-72 + 6X + 72 + X2 = 0 + 72

Reorder the terms:
-72 + 72 + 6X + X2 = 0 + 72

Combine like terms: -72 + 72 = 0
0 + 6X + X2 = 0 + 72
6X + X2 = 0 + 72

Combine like terms: 0 + 72 = 72
6X + X2 = 72

The X term is 6X.  Take half its coefficient (3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
6X + 9 + X2 = 72 + 9

Reorder the terms:
9 + 6X + X2 = 72 + 9

Combine like terms: 72 + 9 = 81
9 + 6X + X2 = 81

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(X + 3)(X + 3) = 81

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(X + 3) equal to 9 and -9.

Subproblem 1

X + 3 = 9 Simplifying X + 3 = 9 Reorder the terms: 3 + X = 9 Solving 3 + X = 9 Solving for variable 'X'. Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + X = 9 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + X = 9 + -3 X = 9 + -3 Combine like terms: 9 + -3 = 6 X = 6 Simplifying X = 6

Subproblem 2

X + 3 = -9 Simplifying X + 3 = -9 Reorder the terms: 3 + X = -9 Solving 3 + X = -9 Solving for variable 'X'. Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + X = -9 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + X = -9 + -3 X = -9 + -3 Combine like terms: -9 + -3 = -12 X = -12 Simplifying X = -12

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. X = {6, -12}
