3 (3 + x) = 5x - 25
9 + 3x = 5x - 25
Add 25 to each side
34 + 3x = 5x
Subtract 3x from each side
34 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
17 = x
(a ± b)² = a² ± 2ab + b² . . . . . . . (signs match)
The middle term is twice the product of the roots of the other two terms. This tells you the terms of the binomial are the square roots of the end terms.
The sign in the binomial will match the sign of the "2ab" term. The order of terms in the binomial doesn't matter. (a±b)² = (b±a)² when signs match.
It's easier to work with problems such as –2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x when we rearrange the like terms vertically:
–2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x
becomes
–2.1x + 3.7
+4.9x -5
