Solution for x^2=2(x-1)(x+2) equation:


Simplifying
x2 = 2(x + -1)(x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
x2 = 2(-1 + x)(x + 2)

Reorder the terms:
x2 = 2(-1 + x)(2 + x)

Multiply (-1 + x) * (2 + x)
x2 = 2(-1(2 + x) + x(2 + x))
x2 = 2((2 * -1 + x * -1) + x(2 + x))
x2 = 2((-2 + -1x) + x(2 + x))
x2 = 2(-2 + -1x + (2 * x + x * x))
x2 = 2(-2 + -1x + (2x + x2))

Combine like terms: -1x + 2x = 1x
x2 = 2(-2 + 1x + x2)
x2 = (-2 * 2 + 1x * 2 + x2 * 2)
x2 = (-4 + 2x + 2x2)

Solving
x2 = -4 + 2x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
4 + -2x + x2 + -2x2 = -4 + 2x + 2x2 + 4 + -2x + -2x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -2x2 = -1x2
4 + -2x + -1x2 = -4 + 2x + 2x2 + 4 + -2x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
4 + -2x + -1x2 = -4 + 4 + 2x + -2x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
4 + -2x + -1x2 = 0 + 2x + -2x + 2x2 + -2x2
4 + -2x + -1x2 = 2x + -2x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
4 + -2x + -1x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
4 + -2x + -1x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
4 + -2x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-4 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 2x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 4
2x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
2x + x2 = 4

The x term is 2x.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = 4 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2x + x2 = 4 + 1

Combine like terms: 4 + 1 = 5
1 + 2x + x2 = 5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1)(x + 1) = 5
