rewrite the equation set = to 0.
x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0
The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.
x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2
x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2
The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.
Y=(x+1)(x-4)
this should be correct.
Answer:
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we distribute (get rid of parentheses):
6x - 3 - 3x = 5 - x - 2
Then, we simplify:
3x - 3 = 3 - x
Then, we combine like terms:
3x + x = 3 + 3
Then, we simplify again:
4x + 6
Finally, we divide 4 on both sides:
We got x = 1.5
