Answer:

x=9,-1  and x^2+(-8)x=9

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation x^2-8x-9

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is ax^2+bx+c=0

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant D=b^{2}-4ac

D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Now, substituting the values we will get

x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1

And rewritting the given equation by  shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

x^2+bx=c

It can be noted from the given that a = 1, b = -8 and c = -9. To transpose c to the other side of the equation, all that needs to be done is to add 9 to both sides of the equation,
                        x² - 8x -9 + 9 = 0 + 9 
The answer would be,
                        x² - 8x = 9

Y= negative 2X -7 how do I solve this equation algebraically
ratelena [41]
You cannot solve this equation, because you have no y or x values. However, you can change the equation to equal x.
