Solution for 2x-1=2x(x-3) equation:


Simplifying
2x + -1 = 2x(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 2x = 2x(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 2x = 2x(-3 + x)
-1 + 2x = (-3 * 2x + x * 2x)
-1 + 2x = (-6x + 2x2)

Solving
-1 + 2x = -6x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 2x + 6x = 8x
-1 + 8x + -2x2 = -6x + 2x2 + 6x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 8x + -2x2 = -6x + 6x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -6x + 6x = 0
-1 + 8x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
-1 + 8x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
-1 + 8x + -2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
0.5 + -4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -4x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
-4x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-4x + x2 = -0.5

The x term is -4x.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4x + 4 + x2 = -0.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4x + x2 = -0.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 4 = 3.5
4 + -4x + x2 = 3.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2)(x + -2) = 3.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.870828693

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2) equal to 1.870828693 and -1.870828693.

Subproblem 1
