Question

Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. x^2+3x-5=5

Answer 1

If you would like to solve the equation x^2 + 3 * x - 5 = 5, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x^2 + 3 * x - 5 = 5
x^2 + 3 * x - 5 - 5 = 0
x^2 + 3 * x - 10 = 0
(x + 5) * (x - 2) = 0
1. x = - 5
2. x = 2

The correct result would be x = - 5, or x = 2.
