I'll just factor the above equation.
x² + 18x + 80
x² ⇒ x * x
80
can be:
1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10 Correct pair
(x+8)(x+10)
x(x+10) +8(x+10) ⇒ x² + 10x + 8x + 80 = x² + 18x + 80
x+8 = 0
x = -8
x+10 = 0
x = -10
x = -8
(-8)² + 18(-8) + 80 = 0
64 - 144 + 80 = 0
144 - 144 = 0
0 = 0
(-10)² + 18(-10) + 80 = 0
100 - 180 + 80 = 0
180 - 180 = 0
0 = 0
I think the algebra tiles will not be a good tool to use to factor the quadratic equation because the equation is not a perfect square quadratic equation.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = -x + 7
Add x to each side
x+x + 3 = -x+x + 7
2x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
2x = 7-3
2x = 4
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
Start with

Add 2x to both sides:

Subtract 21 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:

So, the answer is
