The value of x

Replace x to t + 3/4

#

In this equation, replace every x to (t + 3/4)

#

And simplify the result equation

#

Let's start from a simple case

#

(x + 1)(x + 2) = 10

#

3/2 is a midpoint between +1 and +2

#

x + 1 = (x + 3/2) - 1/2

#

x + 2 = (x + 3/2) + 1/2

#

So let x + 3/2 = t

#

Then: (t - 1/2)(t + 1/2) = 10

#

Apply (a+b)(a-b) = (a^2 - b^2)

#

(t^2 - 1/4) = 10

#

Easier to solve. We even don't need to calculate a discriminant

#

You're welcome 🙂
