Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 1, -5.56
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = -7x – 8
shift -7x and -8 to the other side . Remember when u shift minus changes into plus.
x^2 + 7x + 8 = 0
using quadratic equation formula
in quadratic equation one value comes positive and other comes in negative
a = 1 , b = 7 and c = 8
taking positive sign
x = (-b +
) /2*a
x = (-7 +
) /2*1
x = (-7 +
) /2
x = (-7 +
)/ 2
x = -7 + 9 / 2
x = 2/2
x = 1
taking negative sign
(-b –
) /2*a
x = (-7 –
) /2*1
x = (-7 –
) /2
x = -7 –
/ 2
x = -7 – 4.12 / 2
x = -11.12/2
x = -5.56
therefore x = 1 , – 5.56
