Solution for x^2+x=-2 equation:


Simplifying
x2 + x = -2

Reorder the terms:
x + x2 = -2

Solving
x + x2 = -2

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + x + x2 = 0 + -2

x + x2 = -2

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 = -2 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = -2 + 0.25
