How do i solve x squared = 4x -5

Mathematics
1 answer:
ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2 ±i

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 4x-5

Subtract 4x from each side

x^2 - 4x = 4x-5 -4x

x^2 - 4x= -5

Complete the square

Take the coefficient of the x term, divide by 2 and square it

-4/2 =2   2^2 =4

Add 4 to each side

x^2 -4x+4 = -5 +4

The left side is (x-coefficient of the x term/2)^2

(x-2)^2 = -1

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2) = sqrt(-1)

x-2 = ±i

Add 2 to each side

x-2+2 = 2 ±i

x = 2 ±i

Answer:

The value of the x is 53.5 or x=53.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data in the question:-      

(x+7)2=121

We have to find the value of x.

Solution:-        

(x+7)2=121\\=>2x+14=121\\=>2x=121-14\\=>2x=107\\=>x=107/2\\=>x=53.5\\

Hence the answer is 53.5

You can buy DVDs at a local store for 15.59 each. You can buy them at on online store for 13.99 each plus $6 shipping. How many
dalvyx [7]
Local(L) = 1 x (15.99)
Online(O) = (1 x 13.99) + 6

So use that equation until you find the same number.

L1=15.99
O1=19.99

L2=31.98
O2=33.98

L3=47.97
O3=47.97

And your answer will be three from local and three from online.
