Solution for c^2+c=0.24 equation:


Simplifying
c2 + c = 0.24

Reorder the terms:
c + c2 = 0.24

Solving
c + c2 = 0.24

Solving for variable 'c'.

Reorder the terms:
-0.24 + c + c2 = 0.24 + -0.24

Combine like terms: 0.24 + -0.24 = 0.00
-0.24 + c + c2 = 0.00

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.24' to each side of the equation.
-0.24 + c + 0.24 + c2 = 0.00 + 0.24

Reorder the terms:
-0.24 + 0.24 + c + c2 = 0.00 + 0.24

Combine like terms: -0.24 + 0.24 = 0.00
0.00 + c + c2 = 0.00 + 0.24
c + c2 = 0.00 + 0.24

Combine like terms: 0.00 + 0.24 = 0.24
c + c2 = 0.24

The c term is c.  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.
c + 0.25 + c2 = 0.24 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + c + c2 = 0.24 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.24 + 0.25 = 0.49
0.25 + c + c2 = 0.49

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(c + 0.5)(c + 0.5) = 0.49

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.7

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(c + 0.5) equal to 0.7 and -0.7.

Subproblem 1

c + 0.5 = 0.7 Simplifying c + 0.5 = 0.7 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + c = 0.7 Solving 0.5 + c = 0.7 Solving for variable 'c'. Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + c = 0.7 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + c = 0.7 + -0.5 c = 0.7 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.5 = 0.2 c = 0.2 Simplifying c = 0.2

Subproblem 2

c + 0.5 = -0.7 Simplifying c + 0.5 = -0.7 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + c = -0.7 Solving 0.5 + c = -0.7 Solving for variable 'c'. Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + c = -0.7 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + c = -0.7 + -0.5 c = -0.7 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -0.7 + -0.5 = -1.2 c = -1.2 Simplifying c = -1.2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. c = {0.2, -1.2}
