Answer:
That can be re-written:
x^2 + 5x -8 = 0
We use the Quadratic Formula
a=1
b = 5
c = -8
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2
x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2
x1 = 1.27491722
x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2
x2 = -6.2749172176
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to pick a number for y. Lets say you pick 0
Then you need to +3 to each side
Then you can say 3=x+2 or -3=x+2.
To find x you need to subtract 2.
You answer would be (1,3) and (-5.-3)
