Solution for 90=0.5x(x-3) equation:


Simplifying
90 = 0.5x(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
90 = 0.5x(-3 + x)
90 = (-3 * 0.5x + x * 0.5x)
90 = (-1.5x + 0.5x2)

Solving
90 = -1.5x + 0.5x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
90 + 1.5x + -0.5x2 = -1.5x + 1.5x + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: -1.5x + 1.5x = 0.0
90 + 1.5x + -0.5x2 = 0.0 + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2
90 + 1.5x + -0.5x2 = 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 0.5x2 + -0.5x2 = 0.0
90 + 1.5x + -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'.
-180 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '180' to each side of the equation.
-180 + -3x + 180 + x2 = 0 + 180

Reorder the terms:
-180 + 180 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 180

Combine like terms: -180 + 180 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 180
-3x + x2 = 0 + 180

Combine like terms: 0 + 180 = 180
-3x + x2 = 180

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = 180 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 180 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 180 + 2.25 = 182.25
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 182.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 182.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 13.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1.5) equal to 13.5 and -13.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.5 = 13.5 Simplifying x + -1.5 = 13.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = 13.5 Solving -1.5 + x = 13.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + x = 13.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 13.5 + 1.5 x = 13.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 13.5 + 1.5 = 15 x = 15 Simplifying x = 15

Subproblem 2

x + -1.5 = -13.5 Simplifying x + -1.5 = -13.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = -13.5 Solving -1.5 + x = -13.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + x = -13.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -13.5 + 1.5 x = -13.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -13.5 + 1.5 = -12 x = -12 Simplifying x = -12

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {15, -12}
