Answer:

(x+1)^2 = 49

x = 6                 x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x – 48 = 0

Add 48 to each side

x^2 + 2x =48

Take the coefficient of x

2

Divide by 2

2/2=1

Square it

1^2 =1

x^2 + 2x +1=48+1

x^2 +2x+1 = 49

(x+1)^2 = 49

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+1)^2) =±sqrt( 49)

x+1 = ±7

Subtract 1 from each side

x+1-1 = -1  ±7

x = -1+7          x = -1 -7

x = 6                 x = -8

Shari is adding these fractions: <br><br> 1/3 + 1/4<br><br> What's her next step?
Arlecino [84]

Her next step is to find a common denominator. Remember that if you multiply a number to the denominator, you'll have to multiply it to the numerator too:


1/3(4/4) + 1/4(3/3)


4/12 + 3/12


Simplify. Combine like terms


4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12


7/12 will be final solution



hope this helps
