4.4 x 10^-4
Hope this helps!
You combined the x’s together then u wanna move all the x’s to one side then after that you would want to do the opposite of -7, so then you add 7 to 10 and then you would divide everything by 2 and get x=8.5
To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
