Answer:
+ 16
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 8x = - 10
to complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + (- 4) = - 10 + (- 4)²
x² - 8x + 16 = - 10 + 16
thus 16 is added to both sides to complete the square

Answer:
x = -3 x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
Factor
What two numbers multiply to -6 and add to 1
3*-2 =-6
3+-2 =1
(x+3) (x-2) = 0
Using the zero product property
x+3 = 0 x-2 = 0
x = -3 x=2
