Assuming you typed this correctly, and how you wanted it, then the answer(s) would be x=3, or x=8. Both answers are correct. If it were multiple choice, then the answer would look something like: X=3 or 8.
If you meant 2x, then the answer would be x=8/3. This is a fraction

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81
----------
The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.
w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

b.
The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25
---------
Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.
If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)
Answer:
y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
If x equals 2, then we can substitute that into the equation, resulting in the equation 2*2-2y=22
We can solve for multiplication first:
4-2y=22
Then we can subtract four on both sides, canceling out the four on the left side:
-2y=18
Now to isolate y, we divide both sides by -2, resulting in the solution:
y=-9
Hope this helps!
