2z2-9z+5

you have to do 23 -18 to get the 5 and since there is nothing else that u can factor at the moment u just need to right in the proper order which is 2z2-9z+5

Answer: -5z + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

23 + 2z ✖️2 - 9z -18

multiply the numbers: 2✖️2=4

= 23 + 4z -9z - 18

add similar elements: 4z - 9z = -5z

= 23 - 5z - 18

group like terms

= -5z + 5

Add/subtract the numbers: 23 - 18 = 5

= -5z + 5

hope this helps ;w;

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-2\pm2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+4x+8=0\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\x^2+4x+8-8=0-8\\\\x^2+2(x)(2)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 2^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(2)+2^2=-8+2^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\(x+2)^2=-8+4\\\\(x+2)^2=-4\iff x+2=\pm\sqrt{-4}\\\\x+2=\pm\sqrt{(4)(-1)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x+2=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{-1}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\x+2=\pm2\cdot i\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\x=-2\pm2i$
