Solution for 30=.5(x^2+17x) equation:


Simplifying
30 = 0.5(x2 + 17x)

Reorder the terms:
30 = 0.5(17x + x2)
30 = (17x * 0.5 + x2 * 0.5)
30 = (8.5x + 0.5x2)

Solving
30 = 8.5x + 0.5x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
30 + -8.5x + -0.5x2 = 8.5x + -8.5x + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 8.5x + -8.5x = 0.0
30 + -8.5x + -0.5x2 = 0.0 + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2
30 + -8.5x + -0.5x2 = 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 0.5x2 + -0.5x2 = 0.0
30 + -8.5x + -0.5x2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-60 + 17x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '60' to each side of the equation.
-60 + 17x + 60 + x2 = 0 + 60

Reorder the terms:
-60 + 60 + 17x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: -60 + 60 = 0
0 + 17x + x2 = 0 + 60
17x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: 0 + 60 = 60
17x + x2 = 60

The x term is 17x.  Take half its coefficient (8.5).
Square it (72.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '72.25' to each side of the equation.
17x + 72.25 + x2 = 60 + 72.25

Reorder the terms:
72.25 + 17x + x2 = 60 + 72.25

Combine like terms: 60 + 72.25 = 132.25
72.25 + 17x + x2 = 132.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 8.5)(x + 8.5) = 132.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 11.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 8.5) equal to 11.5 and -11.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 8.5 = 11.5 Simplifying x + 8.5 = 11.5 Reorder the terms: 8.5 + x = 11.5 Solving 8.5 + x = 11.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8.5' to each side of the equation. 8.5 + -8.5 + x = 11.5 + -8.5 Combine like terms: 8.5 + -8.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 11.5 + -8.5 x = 11.5 + -8.5 Combine like terms: 11.5 + -8.5 = 3 x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Subproblem 2

x + 8.5 = -11.5 Simplifying x + 8.5 = -11.5 Reorder the terms: 8.5 + x = -11.5 Solving 8.5 + x = -11.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8.5' to each side of the equation. 8.5 + -8.5 + x = -11.5 + -8.5 Combine like terms: 8.5 + -8.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -11.5 + -8.5 x = -11.5 + -8.5 Combine like terms: -11.5 + -8.5 = -20 x = -20 Simplifying x = -20

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3, -20}
