Solution for n^2-n-10=0 equation:


Simplifying
n2 + -1n + -10 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-10 + -1n + n2 = 0

Solving
-10 + -1n + n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + -1n + 10 + n2 = 0 + 10

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 10 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 10
-1n + n2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
-1n + n2 = 10

The n term is -1n.  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.
-1n + 0.25 + n2 = 10 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 10 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 10 + 0.25 = 10.25
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 10.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.5)(n + -0.5) = 10.25
