Simplifying
2x2 + x = 420

Reorder the terms:
x + 2x2 = 420

Solving
x + 2x2 = 420

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-420 + x + 2x2 = 420 + -420

Combine like terms: 420 + -420 = 0
-420 + x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-210 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '210' to each side of the equation.
-210 + 0.5x + 210 + x2 = 0 + 210

Reorder the terms:
-210 + 210 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 210

Combine like terms: -210 + 210 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 210
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 210

Combine like terms: 0 + 210 = 210
0.5x + x2 = 210

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 210 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 210 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 210 + 0.25 = 210.25
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 210.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 210.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 14.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 14.5 and -14.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 14.5 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 14.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 14.5 Solving 0.5 + x = 14.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 14.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 14.5 + -0.5 x = 14.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 14.5 + -0.5 = 14 x = 14 Simplifying x = 14

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -14.5 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -14.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -14.5 Solving 0.5 + x = -14.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = -14.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -14.5 + -0.5 x = -14.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -14.5 + -0.5 = -15 x = -15 Simplifying x = -15

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {14, -15}
