Solution for x=(x-3)(x+5) equation:


Simplifying
x = (x + -3)(x + 5)

Reorder the terms:
x = (-3 + x)(x + 5)

Reorder the terms:
x = (-3 + x)(5 + x)

Multiply (-3 + x) * (5 + x)
x = (-3(5 + x) + x(5 + x))
x = ((5 * -3 + x * -3) + x(5 + x))
x = ((-15 + -3x) + x(5 + x))
x = (-15 + -3x + (5 * x + x * x))
x = (-15 + -3x + (5x + x2))

Combine like terms: -3x + 5x = 2x
x = (-15 + 2x + x2)

Solving
x = -15 + 2x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
15 + x + -2x + -1x2 = -15 + 2x + x2 + 15 + -2x + -1x2

Combine like terms: x + -2x = -1x
15 + -1x + -1x2 = -15 + 2x + x2 + 15 + -2x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
15 + -1x + -1x2 = -15 + 15 + 2x + -2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
15 + -1x + -1x2 = 0 + 2x + -2x + x2 + -1x2
15 + -1x + -1x2 = 2x + -2x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
15 + -1x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
15 + -1x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
15 + -1x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-15 + x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + x + 15 + x2 = 0 + 15

Reorder the terms:
-15 + 15 + x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + x + x2 = 0 + 15
x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
x + x2 = 15

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.
 + 0.25 + x2 = 15 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = 15 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 15 + 0.25 = 15.25
1.25 + x2 = 15.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 15.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.905124838

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 3.905124838 and -3.905124838.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 3.905124838 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 3.905124838 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 3.905124838 Solving 0.5 + x = 3.905124838 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 = 3.905124838 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 3.905124838 + -0.5 x = 3.905124838 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 3.905124838 + -0.5 = 3.405124838 x = 3.405124838 Simplifying x = 3.405124838

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -3.905124838 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -3.905124838 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -3.905124838 Solving 0.5 + x = -3.905124838 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 = -3.905124838 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -3.905124838 + -0.5 x = -3.905124838 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -3.905124838 + -0.5 = -4.405124838 x = -4.405124838 Simplifying x = -4.405124838
