Silver for x
-3 - (-8) - (-2) = x
Switch the equation to make x on the right
x = -3 - (-8) - (-2)
x = 5 - (-2)
x = 7
• A negative minus a negative will always evaluate to a positive.
• A positive minus a negative will always evaluate to a positive.
In this case, we must use trigonometry to find the value of x:
Thus the value of x rounded to the nearest tenth is <u>8.2</u>

Hope that helps!
Answer:
The final answers are x = 1 OR x = -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation is x^2 -3 = -2x
Rewriting it in quadratic form as:- x^2 +2x -3 = 0.
a = 1, b = 2, c = -3.
Using Quadratic formula as follows:- x = ( -b ± √(b² -4ac) ) / (2a)
x = ( -2 ± √(4 -4*1*-3) ) / (2*1)
x = ( -2 ± √(4 +12) ) / (2)
x = ( -2 ± √(16) ) / (2)
x = ( -2 ± 4 ) / (2)
x = (-2+4) / (2) OR x = (-2-4) / (2)
x = 2/2 OR x = -6/2
x = 1 OR x = -3
Hence, final answers are x = 1 OR x = -3.
I believe the answer is c
