Solution for x+4x+1=x(x+2) equation:


Simplifying
x + 4x + 1 = x(x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
1 + x + 4x = x(x + 2)

Combine like terms: x + 4x = 5x
1 + 5x = x(x + 2)

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

Solving
1 + 5x = 2x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x
1 + 3x + -1x2 = 2x + x2 + -2x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
1 + 3x + -1x2 = 2x + -2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
1 + 3x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
1 + 3x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
1 + 3x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-1 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + -3x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 1
-3x + x2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-3x + x2 = 1

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 = 1 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 1 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 2.25 = 3.25
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 3.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 3.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638
