Answer:

x = -1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2+3 (x+2x) = -2x(2-4) +1

Combine like terms

2+3(3x) = -2x (-2) +1

Distribute

2+9x = 4x +1

Subtract 4x from each side

2+9x-4x = 4x+1-4x

2+5x = 1

Subtract 2 from each sdie

5x = 1-2

5x = -1

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -1/5

x = -1/5

Answer:

4 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle (x + 3)(x +3) = 49 \\ x^2+3x+3x+9=49 \\ x^2 +6x+9=49 \\ x^2 + 6x + 9 - 49 = 0 \\x^2+6x-40=0 \\\\ \Delta=b^2-4ac \\ \Delta=6^2-4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-40) \\ \Delta=36+160 \\ \Delta=196 \\ \\ X_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} \\ \\ X_1=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{-6+14}{2} = \frac{8}{2}=4 \\ \\ X_2=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{-6-14}{2}=\frac{-20}{2} = -10$
