Answer:
x=7−√10 or x=7+√10
Step-by-step explanation:
−5(x−7)2+30=−20
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−5x2+70x−215=−20
Step 2: Subtract -20 from both sides.
−5x2+70x−215−(−20)=−20−(−20)
−5x2+70x−195=0
For this equation: a=-5, b=70, c=-195
−5x2+70x+−195=0
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=-5, b=70, c=-195.
x=
−b±√b2−4ac
2a
x=
−(70)±√(70)2−4(−5)(−195)
2(−5)
x=
−70±√1000
−10
x=7−√10 or x=7+√10
