Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ±
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

Answer:
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that 25 and 125 are powers of 5 and rewrite the equation in terms of powers of 5.
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
__
Your equation can be written as ...
Now this can be solved as an ordinary linear equation.
8 = 8y . . . . . . add 5y to both sides
1 = y . . . . . . . divide by 8
The solution is y = 1.
