What is 5x^2-7x-3=8 by solving using a graph???
Alinara [238K]
Hello!

Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0

Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2

The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.

Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947

Simplifying
x = 2.340121947

Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947

Simplifying
x = -0.940121947

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}
