Answer:

-8/7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2         x+1

----- = -----------

12         x+2

Using cross products

-2 (x+2) = 12 (x+1)

Distribute

-2x -4 = 12x+12

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x -4 = 12x+2x+12

-4 = 14x +12

Subtract 12 from each side

-4-12 = 14x

-16 = 14x

Divide each side by 14

-16/14 =14x/14

-8/7 =x

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 2x + 4?
ivolga24 [154]
Strictly speaking, x^2 + 2x + 4 doesn't have solutions; if you want solutions, you must equate <span>x^2 + 2x + 4 to zero:

</span>x^2 + 2x + 4= 0.  "Completing the square" seems to be the easiest way to go here:

rewrite   x^2 + 2x + 4  as   x^2 + 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 = -4, or
                                              (x+1)^2 = -3
or                                            x+1 =i*(plus or minus sqrt(3))

or                                            x = -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(3)

This problem, like any other quadratic equation, has two roots.  Note that the fourth possible answer constitutes one part of the two part solution found above.
