X= 5 or -8
Add all the like terms and set it equal to 49, use quadratic formula or factoring.
Answer:
{-0.36, 8.36) to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x = 3
(x - 4)^2 - 16 = 3
(x - 4)^2 = 19
Taking square roots:
x - 4 = +/- √19
x = 4 +/- √19
x = {-0.36, 8.36} to nearest 1/100.
