Solution for 280=(18-x)(-5+x) equation:


Simplifying
280 = (18 + -1x)(-5 + x)

Multiply (18 + -1x) * (-5 + x)
280 = (18(-5 + x) + -1x * (-5 + x))
280 = ((-5 * 18 + x * 18) + -1x * (-5 + x))
280 = ((-90 + 18x) + -1x * (-5 + x))
280 = (-90 + 18x + (-5 * -1x + x * -1x))
280 = (-90 + 18x + (5x + -1x2))

Combine like terms: 18x + 5x = 23x
280 = (-90 + 23x + -1x2)

Solving
280 = -90 + 23x + -1x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 280 + 90 = 370
370 + -23x + x2 = -90 + 23x + -1x2 + 90 + -23x + x2

Reorder the terms:
370 + -23x + x2 = -90 + 90 + 23x + -23x + -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: -90 + 90 = 0
370 + -23x + x2 = 0 + 23x + -23x + -1x2 + x2
370 + -23x + x2 = 23x + -23x + -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: 23x + -23x = 0
370 + -23x + x2 = 0 + -1x2 + x2
370 + -23x + x2 = -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + x2 = 0
370 + -23x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-370' to each side of the equation.
370 + -23x + -370 + x2 = 0 + -370

Reorder the terms:
370 + -370 + -23x + x2 = 0 + -370

Combine like terms: 370 + -370 = 0
0 + -23x + x2 = 0 + -370
-23x + x2 = 0 + -370

Combine like terms: 0 + -370 = -370
-23x + x2 = -370

The x term is -23x.  Take half its coefficient (-11.5).
Square it (132.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '132.25' to each side of the equation.
-23x + 132.25 + x2 = -370 + 132.25

Reorder the terms:
132.25 + -23x + x2 = -370 + 132.25

Combine like terms: -370 + 132.25 = -237.75
132.25 + -23x + x2 = -237.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -11.5)(x + -11.5) = -237.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
