Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(2 + -20x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + -20x + x2 = 0 Solving 2 + -20x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -20x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2 Reorder the terms: 2 + -2 + -20x + x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -20x + x2 = 0 + -2 -20x + x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -20x + x2 = -2 The x term is -20x. Take half its coefficient (-10). Square it (100) and add it to both sides. Add '100' to each side of the equation. -20x + 100 + x2 = -2 + 100 Reorder the terms: 100 + -20x + x2 = -2 + 100 Combine like terms: -2 + 100 = 98 100 + -20x + x2 = 98 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -10)(x + -10) = 98 Calculate the square root of the right side: 9.899494937 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -10) equal to 9.899494937 and -9.899494937.

Subproblem 1

x + -10 = 9.899494937 Simplifying x + -10 = 9.899494937 Reorder the terms: -10 + x = 9.899494937 Solving -10 + x = 9.899494937 Solving for variable 'x'.
