This would be easiest to do by completing the square.
x^2+10x-2=0
x^2+10x=2
x^2+10x+25=27
(x+5)^2=27
x+5=±√27
x=-5±√27
(x+5+√27)(x+5-√27)
Question 6
first multiply the numerator and
denominator by 9+(2)^1/2
Question 7
S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2
check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5
7 = 7 correct✅
First combine like terms ,
5/5x=9/5x
move the variable which will cancel out because it is the same
5=9 is no solution sorry if i’m wrong lol
