2 is a factor of 4x + 2y
2( 2x + y)
Answer:
x=-6 is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

squared both sides



solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=-6 and x=-1
see the attached figure
<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>
substitute the value of x in the original expression
For x=-6


----> is not true
so
Is an extraneous solution
For x=-1


----> is true
so
Is the solution
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
The number that needs to be added is the square of half the x-coefficient:
(-10/2)^2 = 25
_____
Adding that gives ...
(x -5)^2 = 32
x = 5 ± 4√2
