Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solving by completing square</u>
- -14 + x^2 = 5x
- x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0
- x^2 -2*2.5x + 6.25 - 20.25 = 0
- (x -2.5)^2 = 20.25
- (x - 2.5)^2 = 4.5^2
- x - 2.5 = 4.5 ⇒ x = 7
- x - 2.5 = -4.5 ⇒ x = -2
Answer: x = -8
Step-by-step explanation: Move all the terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve.

Answer: $142,500
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ned borrowed 95% of the value of his house and that the value of the house is $150,000,
The amount that Ned borrowed will be:
= 95% × $150,000
= 95/100 × $150,000
= 0.95 × $150,000
= $142,500
Ned borrowed $142500
