Find the sum. 2x^2 +26x+ 156=0

Answer 1

It can not be found it is X e R

Answer 2

Answer:

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²+26x+156=0

x²+13x+78=0

x²+13x=-78

x²+13x+169/4=-143/4

(x+13/2)²=-143/4

x+13/2=(i√143)/2 or x+13/2=-(i√143)/2

x=(i√143)/2-13/2 or x=-(i√143)/2-13/2

(i√143)/2-13/2+(-(i√143)/2)-13/2=(i√143-13-i√143-13)/2=-26/2=-13
