Solution for x+x^2=1.44 equation:


Simplifying
x + x2 = 1.44

Solving
x + x2 = 1.44

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-1.44 + x + x2 = 1.44 + -1.44

Combine like terms: 1.44 + -1.44 = 0.00
-1.44 + x + x2 = 0.00

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
-1.44 + x + 1.44 + x2 = 0.00 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
-1.44 + 1.44 + x + x2 = 0.00 + 1.44

Combine like terms: -1.44 + 1.44 = 0.00
0.00 + x + x2 = 0.00 + 1.44
x + x2 = 0.00 + 1.44

Combine like terms: 0.00 + 1.44 = 1.44
x + x2 = 1.44

The x term is x.  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.
x + 0.25 + x2 = 1.44 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = 1.44 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.44 + 0.25 = 1.69
0.25 + x + x2 = 1.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 1.69

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.3

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.3 and -1.3.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 1.3 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 1.3 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 1.3 Solving 0.5 + x = 1.3 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 = 1.3 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.3 + -0.5 x = 1.3 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.3 + -0.5 = 0.8 x = 0.8 Simplifying x = 0.8

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -1.3 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -1.3 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -1.3 Solving 0.5 + x = -1.3 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 = -1.3 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.3 + -0.5 x = -1.3 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.3 + -0.5 = -1.8 x = -1.8 Simplifying x = -1.8

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.8, -1.8}
