8 0

Answer:x^2 + 8x + 20

a = 1

b = 8

c = 20

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

=> 8^2 - 4(1)(20)

=> 64 - 80

=> -16

As -16<0

So, equation has no real roots

I hope this will help you

11111nata11111 [884]

An equation is:
2(x+3)-7=9
Distribute the 2
2(x)+2(3) -7=9
2x+6-7=9
Combine like terms
2x-1=9
Add one to both sides
2x-1+1=9+1
2x=10
Divide both sides by two to isolate the variable.
2x/2=10/2
x=m
