Question

What are the solutions of ×^2=8-5×?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8 & x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to get the (x)s all on one side.

add 5x to each side

${x}^{2} + 5x = 8$

Since x^2 is x•x and 5x is 5•x then we can change the formula to

x(x+5)=8

then seperate that

x=8

x+5=8

subtract 5 from each side

x=3.

The solutions are 8 and 3.
