Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.1' to each side of the equation.
2.1 + -4.1x + -2.1 + x2 = 0 + -2.1

Reorder the terms:
2.1 + -2.1 + -4.1x + x2 = 0 + -2.1

Combine like terms: 2.1 + -2.1 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.1x + x2 = 0 + -2.1
-4.1x + x2 = 0 + -2.1

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.1 = -2.1
-4.1x + x2 = -2.1

The x term is -4.1x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.05).
Square it (4.2025) and add it to both sides.

Add '4.2025' to each side of the equation.
-4.1x + 4.2025 + x2 = -2.1 + 4.2025

Reorder the terms:
4.2025 + -4.1x + x2 = -2.1 + 4.2025

Combine like terms: -2.1 + 4.2025 = 2.1025
4.2025 + -4.1x + x2 = 2.1025

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2.05)(x + -2.05) = 2.1025

(x + -2.05) equal to 1.45 and -1.45.

Subproblem 1

x + -2.05 = 1.45 Simplifying x + -2.05 = 1.45 Reorder the terms: -2.05 + x = 1.45 Solving -2.05 + x = 1.45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.05' to each side of the equation. -2.05 + 2.05 + x = 1.45 + 2.05 Combine like terms: -2.05 + 2.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.45 + 2.05 x = 1.45 + 2.05 Combine like terms: 1.45 + 2.05 = 3.5 x = 3.5 Simplifying x = 3.5

Subproblem 2

x + -2.05 = -1.45 Simplifying x + -2.05 = -1.45 Reorder the terms: -2.05 + x = -1.45 Solving -2.05 + x = -1.45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.05' to each side of the equation. -2.05 + 2.05 + x = -1.45 + 2.05 Combine like terms: -2.05 + 2.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.45 + 2.05 x = -1.45 + 2.05 Combine like terms: -1.45 + 2.05 = 0.6 x = 0.6 Simplifying x = 0.6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.5, 0.6}
