Solution for 2x^2-2x+0.42=0 equation:


Simplifying
2x2 + -2x + 0.42 = 0

Reorder the terms:
0.42 + -2x + 2x2 = 0

Solving
0.42 + -2x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.21 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.21' to each side of the equation.
0.21 + -1x + -0.21 + x2 = 0 + -0.21

Reorder the terms:
0.21 + -0.21 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.21

Combine like terms: 0.21 + -0.21 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.21
-1x + x2 = 0 + -0.21

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.21 = -0.21
-1x + x2 = -0.21

The x term is -1x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = -0.21 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = -0.21 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.21 + 0.25 = 0.04
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.04

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 0.04

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.2

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 0.2 and -0.2.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 0.2 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 0.2 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 0.2 Solving -0.5 + x = 0.2 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 = 0.2 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.2 + 0.5 x = 0.2 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.5 = 0.7 x = 0.7 Simplifying x = 0.7

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -0.2 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -0.2 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -0.2 Solving -0.5 + x = -0.2 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 = -0.2 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.2 + 0.5 x = -0.2 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.5 = 0.3 x = 0.3 Simplifying x = 0.3

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.7, 0.3}
