Solution for 150=(0.5)(2x+1)(x) equation:


Simplifying
150 = (0.5)(2x + 1)(x)

Reorder the terms:
150 = 0.5(1 + 2x)(x)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
150 = 0.5x(1 + 2x)
150 = (1 * 0.5x + 2x * 0.5x)
150 = (0.5x + 1x2)

Solving
150 = 0.5x + 1x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
150 + -0.5x + -1x2 = 0.5x + -0.5x + 1x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 0.5x + -0.5x = 0.0
150 + -0.5x + -1x2 = 0.0 + 1x2 + -1x2
150 + -0.5x + -1x2 = 1x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 1x2 + -1x2 = 0
150 + -0.5x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-150 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '150' to each side of the equation.
-150 + 0.5x + 150 + x2 = 0 + 150

Reorder the terms:
-150 + 150 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 150

Combine like terms: -150 + 150 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 150
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 150

Combine like terms: 0 + 150 = 150
0.5x + x2 = 150

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 150 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 150 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 150 + 0.0625 = 150.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 150.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 150.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 12.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.25) equal to 12.25 and -12.25.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.25 = 12.25 Simplifying x + 0.25 = 12.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = 12.25 Solving 0.25 + x = 12.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = 12.25 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 12.25 + -0.25 x = 12.25 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 12.25 + -0.25 = 12 x = 12 Simplifying x = 12

Subproblem 2

x + 0.25 = -12.25 Simplifying x + 0.25 = -12.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = -12.25 Solving 0.25 + x = -12.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = -12.25 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -12.25 + -0.25 x = -12.25 + -0.25 Combine like terms: -12.25 + -0.25 = -12.5 x = -12.5 Simplifying x = -12.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {12, -12.5}
