Complete the square x^2+6x-16=0

X=2 and x= -8
x^2+6x-16=0
1) Move the constant (-16) to the right of the equal sign: x^2+6x = 16 (becomes positive)
2) Make the left side a perfect trinomial by doing half of 6 (3) then squaring it (9). Add 9 to the 16: x^2+6x+9= 16+9. 
3) Factor the left side, then find the sum of the right side: (x+3)^2 = 25
4) Take the square root of both sides: x+3 =(+/-) 5 (remember it's both positive & negative).
The equation will look like x+3= - 5 and x+3=5

5) solve the two equations: x= -8 and x=2

When you put the x-values back into the problem, it should come out 0. 

Hope this helps

Let's solve your equation step-by-step:
x^2+6x-16=0
Factor the left side of the equation:(x-2)(x+8)=0
Set factors equal to 0: x-2=0 or x+8=0, x=2 or x=-8
Your answer is x=2 or x=-8, doesn't matter which, both are correct.
Hope this helps!:)

Rates for having a manuscript typed at a certain typing service are $5 per page for the first time a page is typed and $3 per pa
Goryan [66]

Answer:

D. $680

Step By Step Explanation:

100 pages are typed. Each page coast $5 to type.

100 x 5 = 500

40 pages are revised once. It costs $3 to revise a page once.

40 x 3 = 120

10 pages are revised twice. It costs $3 to revise a page once so it will cost $6 to revise it twice

10 x 6 = 60

To find the total cost we add all the amounts together

500 + 120 + 60 = 680

The final answer is $680

Answer:

it means that his equation is not true.
