Solution for 5=2x(x-1) equation:


Simplifying
5 = 2x(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
5 = 2x(-1 + x)
5 = (-1 * 2x + x * 2x)
5 = (-2x + 2x2)

Solving
5 = -2x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
5 + 2x + -2x2 = -2x + 2x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
5 + 2x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
5 + 2x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
5 + 2x + -2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2.5 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -1x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-1x + x2 = 2.5

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 = 2.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.25 = 2.75
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 2.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 2.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.658312395

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 1.658312395 and -1.658312395.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 1.658312395 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 1.658312395 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 1.658312395 Solving -0.5 + x = 1.658312395 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 = 1.658312395 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.658312395 + 0.5 x = 1.658312395 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.658312395 + 0.5 = 2.158312395 x = 2.158312395 Simplifying x = 2.158312395

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -1.658312395 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -1.658312395 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -1.658312395 Solving -0.5 + x = -1.658312395 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 = -1.658312395 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.658312395 + 0.5 x = -1.658312395 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.658312395 + 0.5 = -1.158312395 x = -1.158312395 Simplifying x = -1.158312395
