Completing the square
alrighty
minus 31 both sides
x²+12x=-31
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
12 is the linear coefient
12/2=6, (6)²=36
add that to both sides
x²+12x+36=36-31
factor perfect square trinomial
(x+6)²=5
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative root
x+6=+/-√5
so what you want to write is
x+6=√5 and
x+6=-√5
the solutions
minus 6 both sides
x=-6+√5 and -6-√5

Answer:
It does not exist.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we divide the second term by the first, 3rd by the 2nd and the 4th by the 3rd we get a constant result 4/3.
So this is a Geometric Series with common ratio r = 4/3 and a1 = 1/3.
As the common ratio is greater than 1 the series diverges ( continues to get bigger) so there is no sum to infinity. It just goes on getting bigger and bigger without bounds.
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-10=25
+10 +10
5x=35
÷5 ÷5
x=7
