This can't be factored with rational numbers.
I think before it drop it was 320
Answer:
We will add 64 to both sides.
x=8±√20
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we are given the equation:
Now we take half of the coefficient of x and add it to x.
Coefficient of x is 16, half of 16 is 8.
Also we add square of 8 to both sides.
So new equation becomes:
Completing the square:
NOw let us simplify it to get the value of x.
Taking square root on both sides:
Bringing 8 to the right side:
x=8±√20
Trust me: You must know how to do this basic factoring yourself.
x^2 -5x - 6 factors into (x-6)(x+1). Note how I got that: -6 is the product of 1 and -6, and -6 + 1 = -5.
You could also factor this by grouping:
x^2 -5x - 6 = x(x-6) + 1(x-6). Note how the middle terms combine to produce -5x and how (x-6) is a factor common to both terms; this leaves (x+1). So the factors are (x-6)(x+1).
Answer:
n=_23
Step-by-step explanation:
12/n-1=10/n+3
12(n+3)=-10(n-1)
12+36=-10n-10
12n-10n=-10-36
2n=46
n=46/2
n=-23
