(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0
Solve this quadratic for x:
x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
(-7-2) > (6-14)
-7-2 = -9
6-14 = -8
-9 is not > -8, because -9 is farther to the left on a number line. So, this statement would be false.
