Answer:

step 1. Halve everything

x^2+ 4x - 0.5 = 0

step 2. Halve the coefficient of x so you can write down an equivalent for x² + 4 (that is, (x + 2)^2 - 4 )

(x + 2)² - 4.5 = 0

step 3. Isolate the squared term:

(x + 2)^2 = 4.5

step 4. Take square roots of both sides, recognising that a square root can be positive or negative:

x + 2 = ±√4.5

step 5. Make x explicitly

x = -2 ±√4.5

And there you are with two solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps if not let me know have a great day

NemiM [27]

Answer:

x= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get rid of the fraction first and to do that you muliply the whole equation by 5 so that your new equation reads 4x+25=45. Then you subtract 25 from both sides so you have 4x=20. Divide both sides by 4 so x=5.
