Solution for 2k(k+3)=-7 equation:


Simplifying
2k(k + 3) = -7

Reorder the terms:
2k(3 + k) = -7
(3 * 2k + k * 2k) = -7
(6k + 2k2) = -7

Solving
6k + 2k2 = -7

Solving for variable 'k'.

Reorder the terms:
7 + 6k + 2k2 = -7 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
7 + 6k + 2k2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
3.5 + 3k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation.
3.5 + 3k + -3.5 + k2 = 0 + -3.5

Reorder the terms:
3.5 + -3.5 + 3k + k2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3k + k2 = 0 + -3.5
3k + k2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.5 = -3.5
3k + k2 = -3.5

The k term is 3k.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3k + 2.25 + k2 = -3.5 + 2.25
