<em>The required equation is </em>

<em>2x + 16 = -24</em>
<em>=> 2x = -24 -16</em>
<em>=> 2x = -40</em>
<em>Dividing both sides by 2</em>

<em>x = -20</em>

Variance = 
[ (14-11)²+(16-11)²+(7-11)²+(9-11)²+(11-11)²+(13-11)²+(8-11)²+(10-11)² ]/7 = 9.71

Solve the equation
inysia [295]

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 = ± \sqrt11} ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± \sqrt{11}

Thus

x = - 2 - \sqrt{11} ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

x = - 2 + \sqrt{11} ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
