What is the solution of the equation (x – 5)2 + 3(x – 5) + 9 = 0? Use u substitution and the quadratic formula to solve.

1 answer:

4 0

(X-5)2+3(X-5)+9 = 0
let expand the equation
(x)x2-(5)x2 + 3(x)-3(5) + 9 = 0
2x-10+3x-15+9=0
collect like terms
2x+3x-10-15+9 =0
5x-10-6 =0
5x-16=0
5x=0+16
5x=16
divide both side by 5 we have
x=16/5
