in 1st figure

2:1=(x+2):2

2/1=(x+2)/2

4=x+2

x=2.

Similarly in the 2nd figure

8:5=(8+3):(5+x)

8/5 = 11/ (5+x)

8(5+x) =55

40+8x=55

8x=15

x=15/8

x=1.875

What method(s) would you choose to solve the equation: x2 + 2x - 6 = 0

Complete the square since can't factor
2/2=1
add 1 to both sides
x²+2x+1-6=1
factor perfect square
(x+1)²-6=1
add 6 to both sides
(x+1)²=7
sqrt both sides
x+1=+/-√7
minus 1 both sides
x=-1+/-√7

so x=-1+√7 or x=-1-√7
