x^2+x+88=0

Solution for x^2+x+88=0 equation:

Simplifying
x2 + x + 88 = 0

Reorder the terms:
88 + x + x2 = 0

Solving
88 + x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-88' to each side of the equation.
88 + x + -88 + x2 = 0 + -88

Reorder the terms:
88 + -88 + x + x2 = 0 + -88

Combine like terms: 88 + -88 = 0
0 + x + x2 = 0 + -88
x + x2 = 0 + -88

Combine like terms: 0 + -88 = -88
x + x2 = -88

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 = -88 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = -88 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -88 + 0.25 = -87.75
0.25 + x + x2 = -87.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = -87.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
