Solution for 20=(x+2)(2x+6) equation:


Simplifying
20 = (x + 2)(2x + 6)

Reorder the terms:
20 = (2 + x)(2x + 6)

Reorder the terms:
20 = (2 + x)(6 + 2x)

Multiply (2 + x) * (6 + 2x)
20 = (2(6 + 2x) + x(6 + 2x))
20 = ((6 * 2 + 2x * 2) + x(6 + 2x))
20 = ((12 + 4x) + x(6 + 2x))
20 = (12 + 4x + (6 * x + 2x * x))
20 = (12 + 4x + (6x + 2x2))

Combine like terms: 4x + 6x = 10x
20 = (12 + 10x + 2x2)

Solving
20 = 12 + 10x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 20 + -12 = 8
8 + -10x + -2x2 = 12 + 10x + 2x2 + -12 + -10x + -2x2

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(4 + -5x + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 4 + -5x + -1x2 = 0 Solving 4 + -5x + -1x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -1 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-1'. -4 + 5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + 5x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4 Reorder the terms: -4 + 4 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 4 5x + x2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 5x + x2 = 4 The x term is 5x. Take half its coefficient (2.5). Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides. Add '6.25' to each side of the equation. 5x + 6.25 + x2 = 4 + 6.25 Reorder the terms: 6.25 + 5x + x2 = 4 + 6.25 Combine like terms: 4 + 6.25 = 10.25 6.25 + 5x + x2 = 10.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 2.5)(x + 2.5) = 10.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.201562119 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 2.5) equal to 3.201562119 and -3.201562119.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.5 = 3.201562119 Simplifying x + 2.5 = 3.201562119 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = 3.201562119 Solving 2.5 + x = 3.201562119 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = 3.201562119 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 3.201562119 + -2.5 x = 3.201562119 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 3.201562119 + -2.5 = 0.701562119 x = 0.701562119 Simplifying x = 0.701562119

Subproblem 2

x + 2.5 = -3.201562119 Simplifying x + 2.5 = -3.201562119 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = -3.201562119 Solving 2.5 + x = -3.201562119 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = -3.201562119 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -3.201562119 + -2.5 x = -3.201562119 + -2.5 Combine like terms: -3.201562119 + -2.5 = -5.701562119 x = -5.701562119 Simplifying x = -5.701562119
