Simplifying
5(x + 5)(x + -10) = 8.7

Reorder the terms:
5(5 + x)(x + -10) = 8.7

Reorder the terms:
5(5 + x)(-10 + x) = 8.7

Multiply (5 + x) * (-10 + x)
5(5(-10 + x) + x(-10 + x)) = 8.7
5((-10 * 5 + x * 5) + x(-10 + x)) = 8.7
5((-50 + 5x) + x(-10 + x)) = 8.7
5(-50 + 5x + (-10 * x + x * x)) = 8.7
5(-50 + 5x + (-10x + x2)) = 8.7

Combine like terms: 5x + -10x = -5x
5(-50 + -5x + x2) = 8.7
(-50 * 5 + -5x * 5 + x2 * 5) = 8.7
(-250 + -25x + 5x2) = 8.7

Solving
-250 + -25x + 5x2 = 8.7

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-250 + -8.7 + -25x + 5x2 = 8.7 + -8.7

Combine like terms: -250 + -8.7 = -258.7
-258.7 + -25x + 5x2 = 8.7 + -8.7

Combine like terms: 8.7 + -8.7 = 0.0
-258.7 + -25x + 5x2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-51.74 + -5x + x2 = 0.0
