The equivalent equation is x² + 20x = -102
<h3>
Simplification of quadratic equation</h3>
The equivalent equation can be obtained by factorizing or simplifying the given quadratic equation as shown below;
x² + 20x + 81 = -21
<em>collect similar terms together</em>
x² + 20x + 81 + 21 = 0
x² + 20x + 102 = 0
The equation can also be written as x² + 20x = -102
Thus, the equivalent equation is x² + 20x = -102

Me toooo! if anyone in these comments could answer my question, that'd be awesome!
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the distance between two points, you square the difference of the x-values and square the difference of the y-values, add them, and then you square root it!
First, we'll add our two x-values.
-6-0= -6
We square it, which means to multiply it by itself.
-6(-6)=36 (If you multiply an even number of negative numbers, your answer is positive. Since we have two negative numbers, we get positive 36)
Now, we do the same with the y-values.
-2-(-1)=-1 (two negatives make it a plus, as in minus minus 1 is plus one.)
We square it.
-1(-1)=1
Now, we add these x and y value differences.
36+1=37
Now, we find the square root using a calculator.
√37≈6.08
Have a wonderful day!
