Solving
2x2 = 1.75 + -3x + x2
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 3x + 2x2 + -1x2 = 1.75 + -3x + x2 + -1.75 + 3x + -1x2
Combine like terms: 2x2 + -1x2 = 1x2
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = 1.75 + -3x + x2 + -1.75 + 3x + -1x2
Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = 1.75 + -1.75 + -3x + 3x + x2 + -1x2
Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = 0.00 + -3x + 3x + x2 + -1x2
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = -3x + 3x + x2 + -1x2
Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = x2 + -1x2
Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-1.75 + 3x + 1x2 = 0
Begin completing the square.
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '1.75' to each side of the equation.
-1.75 + 3x + 1.75 + x2 = 0 + 1.75
Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 1.75 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 1.75
Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 1.75
3x + x2 = 0 + 1.75
Combine like terms: 0 + 1.75 = 1.75
3x + x2 = 1.75
The x term is 3x. Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.
Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 1.75 + 2.25
Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 1.75 + 2.25
Combine like terms: 1.75 + 2.25 = 4
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 4
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 4
Calculate the square root of the right side: 2
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + 1.5) equal to 2 and -2.
Subproblem 1
x + 1.5 = 2
Simplifying
x + 1.5 = 2
Reorder the terms:
1.5 + x = 2
Solving
1.5 + x = 2
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -1.5 + x = 2 + -1.5
Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 2 + -1.5
x = 2 + -1.5
Combine like terms: 2 + -1.5 = 0.5
x = 0.5
Simplifying
x = 0.5
Subproblem 2
x + 1.5 = -2
Simplifying
x + 1.5 = -2
Reorder the terms:
1.5 + x = -2
Solving
1.5 + x = -2
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -1.5 + x = -2 + -1.5
Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -2 + -1.5
x = -2 + -1.5
Combine like terms: -2 + -1.5 = -3.5
x = -3.5
Simplifying
x = -3.5
Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {0.5, -3.5}
