<h3>Answer:</h3>

The real solutions are -5, -4, 4, 5. There are no complex solutions.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The equation ...

... x^4 -41x^2 +400 = 0

can be factored as ...

... (x^2 -16)(x^2 -25) = 0

... (x -4)(x +4)(x -5)(x +5) = 0

So, all roots are real and are ...

... x ∈ {-5, -4, 4, 5}

_____

These are the values of x that make the factors zero.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 7x = 1 - 6x (Given)

4 - 1 - 7x = 1 - 1 - 6x (Subtraction Property of Equality)

3 - 7x = -6x (Simplify)

3 - 7x + 7x = -6x + 7x (Addition Property of Equality)

3 = x (Simplify)

x = 3 (Symmetric Property of Equality)
